A simple 5 minute journey can take up to 20 minutes during rush hour, 5 days a week that adds up to alot of extra fuel used.

Crazy when the town cant cope with the traffic that is forced now to go through it . Plus cant be safe for children who have to walk from town on a much busier road

Fully understand the need for doing work to build new houses but for the entire road to be shut fir 5 months is ludicrous, works could be done in sections preventing the mayhem closing abbotsham rd has caused.

This may sound the usual stereotypical comment, but the amount if work seems to be minimal over the last months. I rarely see anyone working there.

Such a major disruption to the community trying to keep their daily routines etc.

Although I am for this petition I would not be acceptable to night working as the work is directly outside our property.

Total disregard over the communities day to day requirements and routines of life. Absolutely shocking.

It is disgraceful that these works ever got permission!

Distruption to school run, working in the local community and social access causing additional stress and time as well as fuel costs.

I agree that it is a major inconvenience for a very long time for a lot of people.

4 minute journey taking over 20 minutes, ridiculous organisation could at least have traffic lights

As an older person who rely on this route to get my pharmacy, GP as well as other destinations I think the road should be made available to Our local Community. 5 months! Is a very long time for the road to be closed.

I live on Londonderry farm and work at the old stables business park at Moreton house. The road closure is a nightmare!

Caused a lot of stress and extra time to an already busy working family with limited time. Extra cost for fuel

The amount of time this work is supposedly taking is just ridiculous. I don’t understand why it can’t be traffic light controlled, this would still be a pain but better than closed altogether

Just one recent example of incompetence within DCC Highways Permissions Team

I wish the people in charge of these decisions could see what an absolute pain this makes every single trip to school/work! The amount of near misses I’ve seen on Moreton Park Road is ridiculous! We have to leave the house and allow 25 minutes for a usual 1 - 2 minuet journey! Don’t even get me started on The Bin Lorry days or buses trying to get up there! Surely there is an easier way of doing this!

Appalling that building contractors are allowed to cause so much impact on residents when there are other prions available. Disgusted that this closure just seems to be to allow the contractors to save money on traffic management. Development should never have been allowed.

Absolutely ridiculous closing road off
