The plan is aspirational but far from realistic.To propose 4,200 homes in Appleton is inconceivable.If each home had two cars that would have an impact of a further 8,000 plus vehicles as well as added pollution.With the increase in pupil numbers the school routes for St Matthew?s Stretton, Appleton Thorn Primary, Grappenhall Heys, The Cobbs, Brookfield?s, St Monica?s and Bridgewater High school would grind to a standstill.
One only has to see the current situation at Lyons Lane, Broom Avenue, Witherwin Avenue, all of which are a danger both to drivers and pupils.
The current plan is vague and lacks concrete data which indicates that there will always be insufficient infrastructure in place.
This is evident for commuters and Residents using the A49, A56 where the flow of traffic is unable to cope with the current road system.Furthermore, the old bridges in use where never designed to cater for the volume of traffic in this the 21st century.
