Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

It is proposed that the Scraptoft North development requires an east west access road between Beeby Road and Hamilton Lane. Both these roads onto which the access road would emerge are narrow, have blind bends and are not suited to an increase in the amount of extra traffic which an extra 1200 houses would bring.. The village has already suffered in recent years because of ongoing house building and large construction vehicles. Current access to most of the major radial roads involves driving through the narrow one-way system in the centre of scraptoft.
