I am STRONGLY OPPOSED TO THIS DEVELOPMENT I suspect the developers of this project are so focused on their profitability, they have forgotten we have a Climate Crisis. What we need right now is fewer roads, and less road-transport; not more! If we build more roads, we will attract MORE traffic. That is how the world works. We need to build ALTERNATIVES to more roads. This development is being forced through, and I seriously question how the developers have "incentivised" people to support these plans, because they are 100% against the National and Local interests. We already breathe fumes all the time, and our climate is already changing. PLEASE don't make it even worse. I am so worried about this issue, I have SORN'ed my own car, and I cycle up to 45 miles each way to work - because we all need to make sacrifices to make a difference. This is a crisis; an emergency. I don't block roads or deface paintings in protest - but I have made SERIOUS changes in my own life to be more environmentally aware - and it appalls me to see us building yet more roads, and apparently with a "straight face". What is the point in soem of us making sacrifices, when others - developers that means you - trample all over the environment in the name of profit. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Block this truly awful project; to call it a white elephant is to devalue its detrimental impact - this is a tragedy in the making. In time, every single person involved in supporting this project will be marking themselves down as an author of our collective destruction. Please don't be that person; please don't be the enabler who was "only following orders", whilst we build roads paving the way to our own tragic destruction. We have more than enough roads. Just stop this one; stop it NOW. If you are involved in any way in this project, just make it STOP.
