The road infrastructure cannot cope with the number of new houses. Norton road is already heavily congested as is Hitchin Street, the traffic flow is four way so a bypass wont eleviate the issue. There are bridge strikes in both directions the cross roads lights a number of times each year and the crossroads are prone to flooding in recent years. The 50 new dwellinsg at Icknield Way east will make the junction even busier. Safety risk for pedestrians crossing the road to get to train station esp commuters.
