Give Towcester the relief it needs - a bypass now.

Closed 439 signatures

What the petition asks

With current levels of traffic our market town is in desperate need of a bypass.

Quality of life measures, such as health, safety, sleep & stress are negatively affected by traffic volumes.

We are set to see a massive increase in traffic volume as TOWCESTER FACES MORE THAN 2500 NEW DWELLINGS.
Traffic volume increases year on year. When incidents block the M1, M40 or A43 our town is gridlocked.

Residents, visitors & workers suffer the air pollution, noise & heavy traffic.

We will have to wait until 1016 new dwellings are occupied before enjoying a functioning residential single-carriage ‘relief road’.

This is no relief for Towcester. Current & future residents, visitors & businesses deserve better.

We need a safe, dual-carriageway bypass with sound & pollution buffering.
