Local Transport Plans : You Can Change Them
Keith Farnish | 08.06.2005 11:55 | Ecology
County Councils and Unitary Authorities are publishing the first drafts of their Local Transport Plans covering the period 2006-2011. Now is the time to object to developments that could damage the environment.
Initial responses to these plans at this early stage can make a big impression, and they are needed considering some of the plans include (in Essex alone):
- Maldon to Witham Bypass
- North East Chelmsford Bypass (to enable more housing development)
- A120 Braintree-Marks Tey dualling
- A131 dualling
- A12 widening to 6 lanes between M25 and Colchester
- New or widened access roads to Southend Airport
