Developers rub their hands in glee while locals overlooked again

DEVELOPERS have secured council approval to build a 1,000-home estate on Cribbs Causeway fields despite existing residents raising concerns about increased noise and traffic.

Residents are always overruled. Money talks!

The area is already overwhelmed with a maize of twisting roads and narrow streets with matchbox houses and tiny flats.

My Tesco delivery man said he always gets lost because all the roads look the same. Car showrooms are also already appearing almost overnight.

The plans look great with lovely coloured illustrations. In reality it is already a heaving mass of traffic trying to get from A to B in the shortest possible time.

Cribbs Causeway has been a nightmare since the Mall was built. A flyover should have been built at the Crow roundabout to help the traffic flow in four directions. Nothing has ever been done and the traffic piles up.

Are there any plans made for this as part of this new huge development and the Arena etc. which will attract thousands of people? I doubt it!

The office traffic coming out of the Aztec West development at 4pm is horrendous and jostles for position at the roundabout. This huge amount of traffic will join the Cribbs Causeway traffic where all the people who live in the new development will probably have two cars. The whole area will be a living nightmare!

Just imagine what the noise will be like. Hell on earth for all the residents.

The residents who have lived in this area all their lives have had no say in this new development which affects their lives and the value of their property.

The council and the developers are rubbing their hands with glee. Residents defeated and crushed.

Will the destruction only end when all green areas have been built on? All the countryside destroyed with all the beautiful flora and fauna? No more peace or tranquillity or birdsong, only the drone of heavy traffic to look forward to.
