Appeal for help on traffic pollution

The following appeal was made by a reader of this website.

Please contact me asap I am tearing my hair out re Traffic Pollution in the City Centre and CCC Highways plans to “seem” to solve the issue around Holyhead Road when all that will actually be done is to INCREASE it by moving traffic to directly outside a local Primary school here. The modeling methods that secure monies are questionable – especially as they knowingly exclude important known issues.. It all seems to be about delusions designed to suit “policies” Lot’s of apparent consultant – but not with the actually affected Citizens

Please contact us asap as it IS urgent and wrong. Despite Media reporting some aspects of the issues – the train (aka Highways & Planning Dept) despite purporting to be quasi judicial seems to go trundling on regardless of impact, facts, health and harm… Help if you can please???

Please make your suggestions in the Comments box below. Thank you.

You will not be surprised to learn that we are fighting similar battles along the London Road which currently has 4 live major planning applications in for consideration all of which state there is a negligible itmpact on an already busy arterial road – and which Council officers, including Highways, support. They seem blind to the deleterious effects of overwhelming traffic on the local community. You could contact Julie Newman at the Council if you think the legal process is at fault. There must be some way to hold the Council to account – everything they are doing in our area runs contrary to their Climate Change and Green Space Policy – so we feel your pain.Whitley Residents and Neighbourhood Watch Association

Can you get in touch please. We are planning direct action in relation to Whitley’s troubles and are looking for support across the city from other areas inundated by traffic pollution and congestion. It would be good to be in direct contact. At the last count the Materials Recycling Facility and McDonalds have been approved. We await 3 housing applications – all recommended for approval.

Please get in touch re this – we are in Upper Hill Street opposite St Osburgs School so know all about the games being played and the REASON is primarily a developer who wants (& will probably get) the access to the Ring Road opened up primarily for HIS benefit…Best of it is his traffic is not taken account of in the “calculations” by Highways despite their being fully aware of it all – Fiasco at best that will cause mayhem and then require millions more (OURS) to eventually re do the whole thing… worse than potty as it is deliberate and the impact is obvious too.

All help advice and assistance will be appreciated…
