Re HG1 KS1: there is "NO" integrated travel network and "NO" adequate bus services. Future limits on local government finance will constrain any proposed developments. The idea that people will cycle or walk to the station, supermarket etc is guesswork with "NO" evidence, only vague hopes. It is 35 to 40 minutes tough up hill walk from thestation to Weycock. This is unrealistic for many. Cars WILL be used. The Port Road roundabout had exceeded its capabilities at the last 2014/15 report, the situation has just worsened. Car ownership has grown in Barry since 2015. Introducing the proposed KS1 entry/exit - immediately abutting the roundabout- is a recipe for traffic chaos. A446 Port Road will see traffic increases of up to 18%, Colcot Road up to 17% increase. Even small uplifts can cause disproportionate delay, a fact BP14A itself recognizes. There is NO evidence on proposed signalization effects from any direction. More cars entails high emissions, no quality air assessments have been carried out. Children walking to school will be exposed to higher levels of pollution.
