Main objection to the B1 Hatton New Settlement location is the number of
cars that the development will bring to the already struggling roads around
this area.
10,000 more cars is not viable.
Rush hour and school traffic already bring the roads to a standstill in
surrounding villages and towns and this would only increase.
Regular flooding, which often closes several roads at the same time, already
puts extra pressure on these villages and towns and often single track
country lanes are expected to withstand huge amounts of traffic.
Not just flooding – pot hole repair, utilities digging up the road, A46 and
M40 closures etc all happen regularly and the area struggles to cope with
the traffic pressure these events create.
There a hardly any bus services (often just one bus a week), and the train
stations are not big enough to cope with more train services – single tracks
and either limited or no parking. Not all rural train stations are safely
accessible on foot, there’s no bus services linking them, and as a result
people have to drive to a station to use them = no reduction of number of
cars on the road
