Respondent: Mr Stephen Cartlidge

Representation Summary:

Further development in Mulbarton would simply put increased pressure on an already poor traffic situation in and around the village. The village roads were simply not designed for the current level of population in the village and increasing the residency will just exacerbate the issue. The main road through the village and towards Norwich is also already running at capacity and building more houses and putting in traffic islands will simply make the job of driving past or out of the village even more difficult.

Further development in Mulbarton would simply put increased pressure on an already poor traffic situation in and around the village. The village roads were simply not designed for the current level of population in the village and increasing the residency will just exacerbate the issue. The main road through the village and towards Norwich is also already running at capacity and building more houses and putting in traffic islands will simply make the job of driving past or out of the village even more difficult. For example when there was an accident at Thickthorn earlier this month, the Mulbarton road became the diversion and this led to queuing traffic all the way to Harford bridge. The village simply cannot cope with more development.
