    Transport is the biggest source of air and noise pollution in the UK. Surface transport for example is responsible for around a quarter of UK emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) – a major contributor to climate change, and traffic noise blights many neighbourhoods. Air quality in the UK is slowly improving, but many areas still fail to meet national air quality objectives and European limit values for some pollutants – particularly particles and nitrogen dioxide. In town centres and alongside busy roads, motor vehicles are responsible for most local pollution and most environmental noise.

    Tesco has 430 car spaces, plus cars visiting Tesco petrol station off the main road. Together with the congestion caused at McDonalds queueing on Belmont Road Road I think any of our council's green credentials will be completely wiped out by this Lidl development with parking for another 118 cars. Also there would be 5 junctions in half a mile where traffic would have to wait to turn left or right between the Tesco roundabout and The Oval and add to further backlogs on Belmont Road. What are the benefits to local residents living in the area and motorists trying to get in and out of the city?

    You are 100% right here, anyone living in south wye should object to this ludicrous application. The traffic on Belmont Rd and around McDonalds together with all the anti social behaviour at night is a complete and utter nightmare for people and planners should refuse planning for this supermarket idea.
