Representation ID: 10225

Received: 27/02/2019

Respondent: Alan Lole

Representation Summary:

Concept Masterplan
Impact of development on residents of Maxstoke Lane. Proposed access points should be reconsidered and more consideration given to residents if any construction takes place. Added traffic will worsen high risk associated with junction with Fillongley Road. There is a much more practical, logical and safe access/egress point available for this development.

The attachment shows the subject of great misgivings and trepidation for myself and other residents of Maxstoke Lane.!!

During the construction of Meriden Gate, it is no exaggeration to say that we went to 'Hell and Back'.

Maxstoke Lane collapsed under the onslaught of the impact of Heavy vehicles. Also the noise, vibration and pollution levels were grossly intolerable.

It is true to say that The Lane became a raceway for construction vehicles. Please please please can some serious consideration be given to avoid this??

On top of this, the proposal to make Maxstoke Lane the designated access/egress comes across as very much ill-considered.

I say this as the junction with Fillongley Road is a High Risk point already without added traffic. The danger area is vehicles leaving the island, at speed, with many seeing no need to indicate.!! This is genuinely scary for pedestrians and vehicles leaving Maxstoke Lane, alike and is already an accident waiting to happen.

When there is a much more practical, logical and safe access/egress point available for this development, it seems unreal that this proposal is even on the table.!

It is fully understood that houses have to be built but, surely, consideration can be seen to be given to existing resident's serious concerns.

I speak, not for myself alone but also for this corner of Meriden and cannot leave it unsaid.
