As someone who commutes to Peterborough and back on a daily basis I am fully aware of the extent of traffic going in and out of the area. Although the A47 roundabout at Guyhirn has increased in size there is no way that even this will be able to cope with the additional 300 lorries that are expected, as well as the roads that will be used around Wisbech. If you live locally you would clearly realise that this is not the area to build such a project. There is always excessive queing throughout Wisbech and along the A47 leading up to the Elm Hall roundabout, and even more so throughout the spring and summer months when everyone is heading to the coast. This will only add to the excessive queing. If you do not live in or drive throughout the local area then how can you make a decision to approve a project that will have such a detrimental effect on the local people for the worst?!
