2.4 ACCESS, MOVEMENT AND CONNECTIVITY

I feel that the developers have not got a realistic estimate of the vehicles leaving the site it was stated at an open meeting in Hardwick that of the thousand vehicles expected at the BP roundabout and the first Hardwick roundabout only an estimated 7 extra vehicles would be using St Neots Road, I feel that this is a ludicrous under estimate and far more vehicles will use this route into Cambridge causing considerable congestion on St Neots Road and all local roads. This means that it is essential for the development to have its own access onto the A428.

As regards the provision of healthcare, a dedicated centre for the development is needed as the facilities in Cambourne will be at full capacity with the proposed increase of the number of dwellings at the West of Cambourne.
It is also apparent that it is proposed to site the new school is very close to the A428 would this not be a potential problem with particulate pollution from the dual carriageway (the Oxford to Cambridge highway)
