I am very concerned about the destruction of the landscape and the beautiful views inherent in the whole scheme, and particularly the Langrigg Junction and associated new roads. Additional junctions increase the risk of accidents. Because the route has been planned south of the current A66 it is necessary to build additional roads and junctions. The number of additional roads and the increase in traffic will lead to an increase in noise and air pollution . There is no promise of improved safety Inthe DCO documents and value for money is poor. National Highways appear not to have considered the huge disruption to my grandparents, living at (REDACTED)in their nineties when constructing this scheme. It is not going to benefit future generations (including my own children) to have beautiful countryside turned into an industrial desert. It is time to plan for the future, as In the governments own policies, to more sustainable transport.
