My husband and I live in Marlesford, looking out at fields that stretch towards Wickham Market, with the A12 500 yards away. We are very concerned about the extra traffic Sizewell will bring, the noise, the light disturbance from the park and ride and so much more. We realise that there will be some benefits from Sizewell C to the local economy but there will be huge disadvantages to this part of Suffolk. The ecological impact of the main site will heavily affect places like RSPB Minsmere and the Suffolk Wildlife Trust nature reserves, why would anyone want to put these wonderful places under pressure? There are days when it takes time for us to cross onto the A12 from Bell Lane how much worse will it be when Sizewell is under construction? EDF describe our junction as not requiring improvement but that is obviously from someone who doesn't use it, how can that information be put forward as credible? Yours sincerely, Diana Howard.
