Respondent: Mrs Vivien Alderson

Representation Summary:

As a Carer it has become increasingly dangerous to walk with another person the triangle of Mill Road, Church Road and Barford Road in Marlingford. There are no footpaths, (just banks and hedges full of holly, brambles and nettles). These country roads were not designed to take artic lorries and 3.5t vans. I suffer from bronchiectesis and the exhaust fumes polluting the air exacerbate it. The volume of traffic cutting through our village, (which is much shorter than the A47 Bypass) the noise and greenhouse gases will again increase, whereas I thought we were meant to be reducing the latter.
