This objection is based on traffic grounds. Around Warwick and Leamington during rush hours it is obvious that the main routes are already stretched beyond capacity. It is considered that the mitigation proposals , particularly for Warwick do not go far enough. Additional traffic will add to the exisiting problem / situation and thios will adveresely impact the health of the resident population and increase the cost of healthcare as a result.
There is a need to discourage traffic from our towns , providing alternative routes and to encourage (force) drivers to use them. The Strategic Transport Assessment talks of lnking Greys Mallory to Longbridge without the need to travel on the M40 which would reduce peak hour congestion, especially in Warwick and roads to its south and south east.
Traffic into and out of Warwick is often subject to long queues and the Butts is a particular 'constriction' as it cery narrow at the north end of the road. Thre seem slittle to benefit pedestrian movements as the signalisation of the two gyratorys at Castle Hill/ St Nicholas Church Street will require safe pedestrian crossing facilities.
