I don't support the construction of the bypass, It will attract more traffc: I recognise there are issues with congestion but to build a bypass to provide 'additional capacity' attracts even more traffic and moves the congestion somewhere else (slightly further along). Environment & Pollution: This will most likely result in increased pollution and traffic noise, and environmental damage and disturbance. Discrimination against non-car users: Rather than making it easier The most effective solution would be to create an effective, integrated public transport system and infrastructure that promotes journeys on foot and by and bicycle. These also options available to all rather than discriminating against those who do not use or have access to a car.
