F2/ F3 objections .
My primary objection is that building on the proposed F2 and F3 site will increase the traffic through Ladbroke dramatically . Traffic will use the narrow lanes around Ladbroke to get to the Banbury road. There are some very tight turns and a 20 MPH turn in Ladbroke that we currently have issues with speeding. The southern link out of the village will become very busy as this is on to a very fast part of the Banbury road. On the Northern link , this is currently a dangerous exit as vehicle speed along the Banbury road and there have been some accidents at this poorly lit junction. Paved Footpaths are narrow and there are vehicles constantly parked either side on the footpaths which cause their own issues to pedestrians. Farm Traffic also uses these roads and we have seen the Mega tractors block the road with both tractors and other vehicles going on to the verge to avoid each other. There are also public rights of way which are accessible but can be difficult dodging traffic as there is no footpath to get to them safely. Banbury road is already a racetrack for motor bikes on a Sunday in the summer.

The disruption and heavy vehicles use during the construction period, it would not be acceptable to use the roads around Ladbroke.

Vibration to the village of Ladbroke by extra heavy haulage would cause damage to some very old properties, including the 11th Century Church. The road are not strong enough to withstand the increased traffic this would bring. We moved to this village to escape the traffic and pollution and have a quiet weekend on return from Work.

Following the unnecessary destruction caused by the HS2 planning where the wildlife habitats was destroyed without consideration on how long it would take to recover, assurances would need to be forthcoming to secure only the areas required for the work and no extra destruction.

There are no services in Ladbroke or Deppers Bridge, the nearest ones would be Southam or Bishops, currently the service they provide is sufficient for the area. The proposed F2/F3 development would swamp this and cause issues for the current population of the area. There are also no shops or other facilities. The water and sewage facilities in the area are currently over stretched and will fail if loaded any more.
