Traffic & Air Pollution

Centre has been working with residents who are concerned about the impact of cars in the communities. Aware that may residents are exposed to high levels of air pollution.

Introducing 1,200 additional dwellings will have a huge impact on traffic volume and air pollution, which is extremely high. Will have a long term health impact on residents and especially children who will have long term exposure.

Limited public transport and poor road infrastructure design does not help with the potential increase of levels to traffic especially at times of higher traffic, such as rush hour for work and school drop off and pick up times.

Air pollution is an area that many residents are extremely concerned about and we support the development of the Clean Air Zone.
