Substantial additional traffic congestion will result. There are no Highways England plans or funding to improve the poor road condition and safety of the A5 between A 426 junction and M69 roundabout until after 2030, Although Magna Park continues to be the main generator of both commercial and commuter traffic, only minor developer contributions have been sought, A426 is traffic-jammed at most times of day, to detriment of local residents accessing local facilities for work, education, health and domestic requirements. Several key roundabouts are at or over planned capacity. Several rural villages suffer from overload of commuter traffic.
