Respondent: Mrs Barbara Ireland

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Scraptoft village and Station Lane will not be able to cope with extra traffic, lorries etc that 1200 houses would create as its already used as a "rat run" from Hamilton to reach A47 and Scraptoft lane, resulting in long delays at peak time.
Proposed new route via Keyham Lane West already has schools and college on route so would not be safe for children and parents. The Tesco roundabout and Troon Way is already very congested.
