I object to this scheme as it will lead to an increase in traffic and carbon emissions. In the Environmental Statement National Highways say the scheme would cause an extra 37,070 tonnes of carbon emissions from construction (Table 14.4) and once operational increased and induced traffic would cause an extra 139,800 tonnes of CO2 over its 60 year lifetime (Table 14.6). This is unacceptable in the face of the nature and climate emergencies we are facing. Traffic should be reduced using sustainable travel alternatives.
