Bullet Points for Your Protest Letter Against the Highway
Agency Proposals for Widening the M1 & the M1/M69 Link.
When writing to oppose the Highway Agency proposals (addresses
below) you might include the following points:
- that replacement of the Hinckley Road over bridge by a parallel
new bridge, to un-necessarily widen the M1, will cause serious
disruption, house and land purchase with substantial environmental
impact both short and long term for Leicester Forest East,
- the proposed M1/M69 link will cause environmental intrusion
and substantial impact on the established housing developments
of Leicester Forest East already next to the M1 and the Service
Area,
- the proposed M1 development and its prolonged timescale
to 2015 will cause ‘housing blight’ in Leicester
Forest East, for which there is already evidence,
- the overall scheme is much too complex and expensive for
achieving its purpose,
- the proposed Highways Agency scheme would have substantial
and deleterious effects on the wildlife, ecology and archaeology
of the Lubbesthorpe area,
- the proposed Highways Agency scheme is one scheme only
and no alternative schemes have been presented for consultation,
- that other schemes are viable alternatives, such as moving
the M1/M69 flyover to the south of the Service Area, using
land already in the ownership of the Highway Agency, or alternative
motorway junctions/roads to the south of Leicester Forest
East which connect with the extensive Park and Ride scheme
at Enderby/Narborough.
Write your letter to both:
M1 Widening J21-30 Team, Broadway, Broad Street, Birmingham
