The construction process will cause significant disruption to our daily lives in terms of access to walks for thew dogs the impact on domestic animals (local cats) and the wildlife, including river life. The extensive construction activity will increase the noise pollution significantly and as I live so close to the bridge I cannot 'get away' from this. As we have already experienced with other local projects, the impact on the rivers and flood plains is catastrophic and 2023/2024 flooding levels have been the highest on records and caused immense damage - I have no confidence and no assurance that this project will be any different from the previous recent projects which ARE the root cause of the recent flood! Both during and upon completion, the value of my property is likely to dramatically reduce and cause me financial hardship. We have witnessed already a number of local residents move out of the area directly as a result of concerns about this project. The additional traffic and noise from the additional lane will be unbearable and there has been no discussion about compensation either during the lengthy construction period or for the inevitable negative consequences this project will have on my property value or life style or well being.
