I would like to object to the local plan regarding access for building houses on the The Grange, Letchworth. I am aware houses need to be built but I oppose the access route via The Grange.
We have such an influx of traffic coming into & out of the estate as it is and I have been assured via The Heritage Foundation when a traffic flow was done in October 2013 that extra parking would be enabled via the grass verges to alleviate the roads.
The main route out, Northfields & Eastern Way is always a problem with cars parked on both sides of the road, which I recently had an accident on. Then further round on Eastern Way buses are trying to access the estate with sometimes only one lane of traffic moving due to more parked cars.
I personally would like to see access up the hill from the Stotfold roundabout near the Fairfield estate. Or alternatively from along Norton road also an accident black spot so a new roundabout along that road from Norton to Stotfold would slow the traffic down.
I hope my objections to the access route are considered.
