12. Newport Pagnell NP (2) Comments from David: "Not enough thought has been given to the impact on the surrounding areas roads and infrastructure which will be severely affected by the increased traffic exiting and entering NP daily. The current situation between the hours of 0730 and 0930 and 1500 and 1800 is very bad and the proposed increases in housing at Olney and NP will only make this much worse without improvements to major roads and access roads. I see no plans for this which are other than cosmetic. The resultant delays in travel to school and work and the increased amounts of noise and air pollution from the traffic build up should be addressed before any development starts."
