Testun llawn:
1: Traffic/ Safety
The junction off Cubbington Road, Telford Avenue and Parklands Avenue is already a bottleneck at certain times of the day, and with a school in Telford Avenue, the pedestrian crossing on Cubbington Road is very busy twice a day. This gives me concerns of the traffic flow as well as safety as there have been a number of accidents on this junction already mainly damage only but to my knowledge at least two serious. On top of this, both of the other junctions off Cubbington Road - Crown Way and Windmill Hill create traffic problems now. So these will only get worse.
The road infrastructure from Parklands Avenue to the site are estate roads of the 50s - 70s which are not very wide and as the houses on the south side of Oakridge Road have very small drives (will only accommodate 1 car), some cars are parked on the road which means you have to zig-zag to reach Leighton Close.
2: Flooding
As the soil on this proposed site is clay there must be a real danger of more serious flooding than we have at present. Cubbington has already a history of serious flooding and we in Lillington to a lesser extent. Some houses in Parkland Avenue opposite Oakridge Road have been flooded on a number of occasions with runoff water from the field at the top of Oakridge Road. Severn Trent Water have now fitted flood gates to these houses.
I live on the east side of Leighton Close and at times my garden has been flooded, but thankfully it has never reached the house, but with this field concreted over I am worried that my house is seriously at risk!
