Representation Summary:
Ancient town cannot cope with additional traffic if Gallows Hill devt. built. Town can hardly cope with traffic now.
Air quality bad and would worsen. Runners, walkers etc. would be endangered.
Only bridge is single lane and congestion bad at commuting times. System clogs up if traffic diverted from motorway or security van stops in town centre.
Empty businesses in towns should be addressed before building.
Visitors experience spoiled by traffic/parking. More will be death of it.
Developers should utilise empty sites in towns instead of greenfields.
Too many supermarkets allowed on land which could have been used for housing.
