I want to register my concerned that the bypass will increase particulate pollution including dust in its construction and use. Has this impact been assessed? I would also like you to assess the scope 3 emissions caused by increased traffic flow on the bypass. Following the recent court case where these now need to be taken into account I think this is a very important assessment to make. There will also be a considerable loss of biodiversity when constructing the road and we in are in a nature crisis with many species lost how can this be justified? The scheme is not designed to reduce congestion in Newark over the railway and this problem is causing local air pollution and should be sorted out first what plans are there for this? Finally has a comparative study being done on spending the money on active transport infrastructure rather than a road and the subsequent health benefits environmental benefits and financial benefits for the local community.
