This needs to happen now. I moved here in 2000 and the bypass was then desperately needed. The need has only become more evident with higher through traffic volumes plus local traffic volume increases due to continued housebuilding and changes in demographics where previous home owners with no or one car ownership are being replaced with families with two or more vehicles. This area WILL grind to a halt if this bypass does not happen. There are objections to this plan but these cannot sway the current intended plan - whether this plan is perfect is no longer the discussion - this needs to be done now and further alterations considered later - this is no different to what he have seen in the road work generally where we have seen roads widened as traffic volumes have increased. There have been many reviews of the environmental aspects of the bypass over the years but I do not believe that any of them override the potential of the health impact on children (including my own) that live and travel within the area under discussion (my daughter [redacted] breathes in the fumes from stationary vehicles every school day).
