The traffic impact on Scraptoft will be huge. Many wanting to travel South will use Scraptoft as a rat run, which it already is. Station Lane is already blocked between 7.45am and 9.00am. The proposed principle access would be via Keyham Lane West which just been upgraded with traffic calming plus 20MPH speed limit. Certain parts can't be widened and Tesco roundabout is already nose to tail virtually all day. It would be impossible to upgrade Scraptoft/Station Lane without knocking houses down! The Green Wedge from Hall Road to Hamilton Lane needs to be protected to keep our village status.
