Marginal widening of the roads entering Weycock roundabout the and signalisation will almost certainly not adequately address the gridlock that we already experience daily. The purported evidence of this document is flimsy guesswork. It does not take into account the effect of signalised junctions for cars and/or pedestrians and insufficient weight is given to the estimated traffic increases at each junction and the delays this will cause. We all know that the slightest hiccup in traffic flow (and there are many potential causes for this) can bring about disproportionate delays. It seems that no real allowance is made for the fact that this roundabout is a conduit for emergency vehicles to, from and between the airport, the town centre and other towns and villages along the coast.
We live with the existing traffic overload on a daily basis and it negatively impacts our lives. Additional housing with the extra ensuing traffic emptying onto the roundabout every morning and evening can only make this significently worse. If national planning policy states that development should not worsen traffic or pollution, then North West Barry site does not meet these standards. It should be withdrawn from the plan.
