One of our residents has provided these annotated maps which show quite clearly the lack of roads in the west/south of Chester and why there will be traffic problems with the CWaC local plan.
NOTE: We have heard various things about a future Western Relief Road, none of which indicate it is viable during the lifetime of the plan.
Also, here is traffic data for local reference:
http://www.uktrafficdata.info/cp/west-cheshire-a483-handbridge-park-7202
The site allows various points to be selected. Unfortunately it only shows averages not peaks.
It does show that average traffic peaked in 2007 (when economic activity in Chester peaked) and has gone down since then.
Please let us know if you find this traffic data useful for local plan responses – we suggest any comments should be at the strategic level.
