IS the proposed Shavington bypass really a bypass at all, or is it simply a convenient name for a road, the main purpose of which is to make available yet more precious countryside for industrial development?
Will Shavington benefit from a road which runs through the outskirts of the village, frighteningly close to the largest school in the area, bringing yet more noise and air pollution?
I read that there could be up to 7,000 new jobs in the area, presumably most of these people travelling to work by car, and the majority of deliveries made by road, thus generating even more traffic in the local area.
Bypass? I think not!
