As an elected representative in the Worthys, I am concerned about several aspects of this project: 1) to keep a close an eye on how this project improves or makes worse travel between the Worthys and Winnall - whether that is by vehicle, by bike or walking. The last iteration of the plan appeared to improve all of this. 2) The Cart & Horses junction where the B3047 meets the A33 is notorious. We believe HCC will in due course address this. Changes in how the Junction 9 M3 project affect the A33 will affect the options available for the Cart & Horses. Changes in timetable will also impact it. As this junction is likely to be en-route from Kings Barton to the M3, I also have a role as Chair of the Kings Barton Forum, so I would like to be kept informed. 3) In the course of the construction work, we anticipate diversions and restrictions which could lead to more traffic flowing through the Worthys. I want to be kept appraised of this too. 4) During construction there are likely to be even longer queues for south bound traffic on the A34. This will cause people to follow SatNav through our village. I'd like to keep abreast of situations where the construction plans will lead to this.
