Representation ID: 6142

Received: 01/11/2017

Respondent: Catherine Allison

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The roads in Scraptoft are not suitable. Hamilton Lane leads off from the proposed new road leading onto a heavily traffic calmed narrow road past a large secondary school which is already a parking issue with narrow pavements. The high number of cars and commuters leaving for work and school will have a negative impact for lots of residents. Scraptoft is a one-way system and would not cope with such large amounts of traffic which will be heading towards the A47 down Station Lane. There is already congestion here during peak times without another 2,000 plus cars on top.
