Ymatebydd: Stratford Residents Action Group (SRAG)

SRAG - was formed in 2017 and has maintained and still maintains a position of publicly opposing the currently planned alignment of the South West Relief Road (SWRR).

Recent media comment on the SWLP Preferred Options Consultation claims that £250,000 has already been allocated by SDC for a study of an alternative to the SWRR made necessary, it is understood, by failure to secure funding, the largely negative response to the SWRR and uncertainty on the location of the preferred major new settlements (LMA and Bearley).

There is no publicly available evidence of the brief from SDC around which a "SWRR alternative" study would be studied - or by whom - although the description "Relief Road" continues to be used.

SRAG will also expect the existing SWRR proposal to be permanently removed as an infrastructure option, and the justification for its routing also removed to avoid it ever being regarded as a revisitable option.
