My concern is that increased traffic in and around Wickham Market including the High Street, Bordercot Lane and Broad Road will greatly impact the lives of local people by causing: + increased traffic noise changing the nature of village life + vibration from additional cars, vans and lorries through the village will cause damage to the older properties lining the High Street most of which are very close to the road + increase in traffic fumes impacting on the health of villagers particularly for children walking to and from school + parking problems for local residents + increased risk of accidents caused by heavy volume of traffic + delays to buses trying to get through the village caused by increased volume of traffic, build up and tail back of traffic because of a narrow high street and single car passing at junction of Chapel Lane. In recent years there has been an increase in traffic volume due to much needed new housing in the the area. A further increase of cars carrying workers through the village to and from the park and ride would in my opinion make life unbearable.
