I live in a village that is on what was once a Strategic route. A motorway was built as a bypass, however, the tables have turned and the village is now on the bypass for the motorway! Satnavs now direct drivers to come through the village whenever there is a delay on the motorway. The Highways Authority reduced the parking on our main road when the Lockdowns started. This provided a brilliant demonstration of the damage this could do, as the retailers depend on passing traffic to provide 80% of their customers. The residents, in turn, depend on the retailers. Inevitably, new housing estates are planned. As a member of the Neighbourhood Plan group for the village, I'm interested to know if there is someone who could use a Vision-led approach to propose ways of handling this 'Wicked-problem'.
