The main issues are the disturbance to everyday life. We live directly next to the motorway & general works already disturb us & our neighbours. So I can't imagine what it will be like once the works start. We have spent a lot of money on our property, extending & refurbishments. As we intend to sell in the near future. So these works could possibly affect the price of our property as well as put off potential buyers. Another main issue is the wildlife. Animals live along side the motorway, deers, bats, badgers, foxes, newts, to name a few. Will this be taken into consideration when the work begins & possibly disturbs or destroys their habitats? I feel these works will cause a lot of misery for the majority of people living along side the motorway. Which in my opinion no one cares about. Another point I'd like to make, is that there has been a broken fence in my street. This has been reported several times to the highways agency & the local housing have also tried to have this problem resolved. The fact that the fence has been like this for 2 years, gives me no confidence that the public are cared about. A simple fence can't be fixed in 2 years after several complaints, I worry about the quality of work that may be carried out.
