While the bypass has relieved a significant amount of traffic from the centre of the village each new development increases the local traffic to schools and shops. The centre of the village has no off street public parking and therefore on street parking is necessary. As the amount of traffic through the village increases so will congestion and demand for the removal of on street parking. I think that the impact of more vehicles in all areas of the village but particularly, Main Street, Bolton Road, School Lane, Moor lane, Turner and St Pauls Rise has not been recognised in the plan . Certainly the new developments would lead to increase traffic in the centre of the village particularly for families driving to the primary school resulting in congestion, pollution and more likelihood of traffic accidents .
