Traffic congestion has always been a key concern. Plan fails to properly assess development and infrastructure requirements including the cumulative effects on traffic, air pollution, fresh water and wastewater. Updated traffic and air quality modelling should be undertaken and development not permitted unless effective mitigation methods can be implemented. Freshwater and waste water infrastructure needs to be objectively assessed and key infrastructure listed. Risks to delivery should be identified. Following the introduction of the computer based traffic light control system, traffic is worse than ever. Difficulties are experienced in Valley Road and Henley Road and the pedestrian crossing is dangerous.
