I would like to discuss issues of the Environmental Impact that LTC will bring to the areas where it is proposed to pass through. Issues such as Pollution - Heavy Construction, Construction Machinery, Dust, General litter/ Waste and additional Road pollution, Noise pollution associated with the Construction, i.e. Construction, Heavy Traffic, Machinery etc. and Wildlife Habitats disturbance. Other topics of discussion will be how Traffic congestion/ Diversions/ Road closures and damage will be managed to have minimal impact on local residents going about their daily business in the affected areas. Also will require to discuss Construction shift patterns - 24hrs/ weekends etc. Need discussions to ensure Sustainability of nature & wildlife in affected areas. And last but by no means least, discussions on the Mental Health impact of affected local residents and what will be in place to help alleviate stress, anxiety and other health issues related to a construction project of this size.
