Lanes Heading North from Nerrols 3
The Nerrols 3 developer is using a computer-modelled traffic report created by a firm based 85 miles away, which does not contain any local knowledge of these lanes. This report does not give any evidence surrounding junction use for traffic turning right when exiting Nerrols 3, heading North or West. Nor does it consider the suitability of the largely single track lanes to cope with extra traffic.
Better than any computer model is real evidence. Historically these roads have, at times, needed to carry some extra capacity (e.g. due to road works elsewhere), and this extra traffic has lead to immediate congestion, gridlock and damage.
In addition these roads are frequently closed due to flooding, sometimes for weeks at a time.
Finally, we show a picture of Nerrol's Drive - the road originally designed and built to carry Nerrol's traffic - safe, wide, well lit, pavemented and without any question, completely suitable to carry additional traffic.
We urge the Council Planning Committe to consider the practical evidence and ensure the developer is requested to use the safest and most suitable road option.
The Original Proposal
Well lit, wide, pavemented,
capable of extra capacity
and directly linked to main roads.
Please ensure this option is to be used.
