*The proposal is not online with the local plan of 2017. *The local roads with become very busy as they will provide links to terminal 2. This will have an impact on my ability to commute to work and my children’s safety when travelling to school. They will not be able to walk to school independently until a much later age due to needing to walk along dual carriage ways. *The dual carriage ways will pass 3 schools as well as busy walking and driving routes for 2 other local schools. *Im worried how safe it will be to disturb the former landfill. This is very close to my home. *My local area will go from having no traffic lights to 11 sets. *Hugely increasing parking spaces on Wigmore Park and green field spaces will impact on local traffic. *The dart will not help reduce traffic from the east of England. *The smell of aviation fuel is already strong when at my property and the local area. *I’m already disturbed by aircraft noise and vehicles moving around the airport day and night. This is even worse in the summer when windows are open. *I use Wigmore park regularly with my family and this will be destroyed. *The county wildlife park will be destroyed. *The proposed replacement park will not be in Luton so will not be a Luton Open Space. *The new park will be too far from where I live to access. *Increased aviation and road traffic will impact on my family’s health. *Dual carriage way noise and pollution will impact my children’s education due to the proximity to their school.
