North Road runs from the proposed site at Blackhorse Farm down into Baldock. It enters Baldock at a cross roads. It is here that we see Baldock as an hour glass shape. All major traffic flows entering Baldock - plus all the corresponding traffic flows heading in the opposite direction - have to pass through this single junction. As a result, the junction is always congested, and congestion during the rush hour can extend back almost as far as the Baldock services.
In addition to this, traffic must pass under the railway bridge. It is a regular occurrence that lorries crash into the bridge - bringing traffic to a standstill. North Road is a danger to walk down, as a mother with children, to the local school at the moment. It will become untenable if this development goes ahead.
