Testun llawn:
I object to this location for a number of reasons:
Traffic & Road Safety - Due to the massive and unmanaged increase in
traffic commuting to JLR, Harbury Lane is now much busier. This has then
had a knock on effect to the junction with the Fosse Way which a constant
serious accident location. This additional traffic is also heading South,
down the Fosse Way compounding the problem. Traffic is backing up along
Harbury Lane as well as N up the Fosse, also creating a bottleneck. This is
also a 'High Risk Route' so the problem can only get worse. Development at
the Whitnash end of Harbury Lane will also only increase traffic strains.
Access to amenities - (doctors, shops, schools etc) from GT04 is also
difficult as there is nothing in walking distance, as well as there being
no footpaths, therefore requiring cars to be used.
Smells from Barnwell Farm - I can only imagine that any development money
spent would be wasted at this location as the smell from Barnwell Farm is
unpleasant to the point of unbearable, particularly in the warmer months
and this would no doubt deter occupants.
As an unfortunate, but timely illustration to my previous point, there was crash debris at the junction between Harbury Lane & Fosse Way at the beginning of this week. There was also a three car collision there at approx 7.30am yesterday (27/03/2014). I can only imagine the likelihood and implications of an accident involving a slow moving caravan. It would seem impossible to ignore such a high risk situation.
