We note with great concerns
That as Magna park has expanded from site to near full capacity
The units thereon have been built and some now reach capacity & look for more space ,the traffic volumes large and small , trucks vans and cars . the legal A5 speeds have increased for hgvs which means that at our pinch point of single carriage way it's is nearly impossible to safely exit from our village onto the a5 at shift Change or Rush hour periods ..

Future plans if granted would increase volume & exarcerpate the issue , of safe access to our homes and businesses.

Increases in construction followed by employment and logistics traffic arise from granting expansion units permission, would obviously make the roads more dangerous and risk our Families and visitors safely even more . .
