Representation Summary:

We have suffered complete and utter traffic chaos in Market Harborough for many. Pollution, congestion, and a lack of suitable parking all pose a risk to our health and wellbeing.
All major junctions are congested particularly in the morning and afternoon with ever increasing amounts of traffic , the Town must have a further bypass and the one way system around Fairfield Road and Abbey Street sending forty ton articulated lorries into the centre of the Town is total madness.
The bridges on Rockingham Road and Kettering Road are a cause of major congestion.

We have suffered complete and utter traffic chaos in Market Harborough for many many years now and we deserve better.
Pollution, congestion, and a lack of suitable parking all add up to a risk to our health and wellbeing.
This situation has been inflicted upon us all by our idiotic planners in County Hall who clearly do not have the expertise and knowledge to find a solution to our traffic problems.
All of our major junctions coming into and out of Market Harborough are congested particularly in the morning and afternoon with ever increasing amounts of traffic , the Town must have a further bypass and the crazy one way system around Fairfield Road and Abbey Street sending forty ton articulated lorries into the centre of the Town is total madness.
The bridges on Rockingham Road and Kettering Road were designed for horse and cart and are a cause of major congestion and must be modified to take two way traffic without restriction.
We deserve better than the penny pinching road schemes being proposed by County Hall and Network Rail.
