1, I lived on the A57 road for 30 years and in the area for almost 50 years. The volume of traffic on the A57 and A628 has increase tremendously causing delays and the slightest traffic problem i.e. a broken down lorry causes gridlock in roads adjacent to A57/A628 usually for several hours. 2. New build houses have increased the population quite dramatically but infrastructure has not been improved to cater for all the increased traffic. 3.Pollution from standing traffic is very high - a serious health hazard to the local population. 4. discussion of a bypass road has been ongoing for 50 years to my personal knowledge. Time for action is now.
