Welcome to the Easthorpe PEACE community website against the proposed changes to the A12
Easthorpe PEACE Proposal
Home > Easthorpe PEACE Proposal
Our Proposal is Simple
Do not provide two way access to the old A12 from Easthorpe Road.
Close the road off and make it local access only. This will put the local traffic accessing the new A12 onto roads that are designed to cope the volumes of traffic involved
Save the taxpayer an estimated £7m - £10m.
Key Stats
£2,000,000
Research suggests this is the kind of cost for this size of roundabout
6 Metres
This is the recommended width for two way traffic on rural roads detailed in the HS2 plan
£5,000,000
Research suggests that the proposed flyover bridge could cost this much
SAVE MONEY and use it where it is needed
The proposed roundabout, flyover and road route adjustment will have been budgeted for.
We suggest this money can be used on community infrastructure and services that are really needed in all of the villages around the A12 corridor.
For example:
-
Many village halls require improvements.
-
Public footpaths, byways and bridleways within the area have been neglected.
-
Smaller vehicle public transport options, such as a transit size "dial a bus" would match the road network and provide an ageing rural population better access to the towns.
