We are concerned about traffic impacts. 3.500 homes in this location will encourage car use and generate massive road use on already overburdened roads like Valley Road. Given that most residents will have to look for work outside Ipswich, more thought should be given to a northern exit road/outer ring road again and a traffic assessment should made of the whole town. Replacing roundabouts on Valley Road with traffic lights will create chaos and should be resisted. Roads through historic areas e.g. Christchurch Park will become noisy, polluted rat runs. Exits from the Northern Fringe should be more evenly spread.
