I live at High Mount in the village of Cottam . I am objecting to the road widening through Cottam Village for heavy large construction traffic .At present it is a single track road in a quiet village . The road has an 18 ton weight limit . It is a linear village with houses right on the edge of the road and footpath one side. There are mature trees on the other side of the road full of wildlife . Most of the houses like mine are very old and subject to movement and vibration when anything heavy passes, as built on sand with old style footings . There is a 90 degree blind bend by the pub in the village that can’t be widened due the the close proximity of buildings , large traffic struggles to get round it now . It would far better in my opinion to put a road in during construction across fields at the back of the village next to the route that the cables will be taking .
