Bridgwater Needs a Northern Bypass
This petition was published by Matthew Jackson-Smith on Mar 31, 2011
We the undersigned petition Sedgemoor District Council that EDF Energy should not be granted permission to proceed with the Hinkley Point C Nuclear Development without first constructing a northern bypass for Bridgwater from Junction 23 of the M5 to connect up with the A39 west of Cannington.
The bypass would ensure that construction traffic would avoid Bridgwater’s already over congested roads and leave the whole area a worthwhile legacy after the construction of the Hinkley Point C Nuclear Development is complete. In addition to this a bypass would render the need for an EDF facility and the Bridgwater Gateway Development an unnecessary and unjustifiable intrusion on farmland close to the residential area of North Petherton.
