Objects to housing south of Warwick and Whitnash. The number of houses envisaged and the resultant road traffic density may be unsupportable. There are already serious problems on Europa Way, Gallows Hill and Banbury Road. A bold plan is required to provide additional road, a dual carriageway and park and ride. A traffic congestion like in London and a limitation of one in one out during peak times. Cycle based park and ride may lessen traffic at peak times and shuttle buses could be operated between the train station and offices / factories. WDC has a responsibility to address the health risks to those living in areas of high air pollution. There are numerous other smaller areas which could be developed for housing, close to amenities for shopping and recreation.
See attached submission and:
I have very late in the day, been advised that the lower end of Smith Street is to have traffic control such that vehicles coming down Smith Street or Priory Road will no longer be able to turn into St Nicholas church Street and so back into Warwick and south on to Banbury Road.
If this is correct may I urge to think again about this as it would cause endless frustration, and extra traffic in the Emscote and Coventry Roads as vehicles seek somewhere to turn aroun to access St Nicholas Ch St.
I have been unable to locate this proposal on the plan,however may I urge to think again.
