Transport Technical Paper [EXAM 114]

Scrap the plan to build the road and spend what will be scarce money on environmentally friendly things like bike lanes and public transport

Although planning permission has been granted circumstances have changed with the Covid19 pandemic.
We need to spend money wisely and to recover by building a healthy, green and fair future for all. This means a review of spending and road building.
You should spend the money providing bike lanes and public transport
No clear estimate of the total cost has been given but it is likely to exceed £22m per mile. In the post Covid economic situation there are much better ways to spend this money
CBC is committed to responding to Climate change. This road will lead to countryside loss of trees and to increased air pollution and carbon emissions, This is hypocritical and is exactly the opposite of tackling the climate emergency.
We understand the Government inspectors have questioned the need for a new road and it seems local opposition has been ignored
