Strategic Growth Options

Representation ID: 4460

Received: 15/02/2015

Respondent: Mr and Mrs Colin and Linda Matthew

Representation Summary:

We agree with most of the issues, but the transport within and around the borough is very congested already and would be even worse with extra development. The villages in the north area would be extremely hard hit with any increase in traffic on the local roads connecting to the highway network. With public transport being so limited in the villages most journeys have to be undertaken by private vehicle.

Currently the roads are in a very poor condition and any increase in traffic would only make things worse.
