I am very concerned at the scale and location of this proposed project. Wisbech is a small town with a restricted road network due to the River Nene running through it. There are only two bridges inside the town, forcing traffic down just two roads from north to south. It is already gridlocked during rush hour times and busy at most other times. The roads are narrow and lined with residential properties. The infrastructure is totally unsuitable for the influx of heavy traffic that this project would create. My nearest supermarkets, banks, etc are in Wisbech. Both main supermarkets I use (Morrisons and Tesco) are south of the proposed site of the project. Access to these supermarkets will no doubt become much more difficult with increased heavy traffic. Travelling south to places like March, Ely and beyond, is also via Wisbech. Please do not allow this project to go ahead.
