Is this progress? I HAVE just finished reading the D&S Times (Jan 8) and came across the article on the proposed business park on the northern edge of Northallerton. Whilst I approve of forward planning in most public ventures, with this proposed plan I am at a loss with regard to the lack of proposed vehicular infrastructure management. As things stand, the northern link roads avoiding the troublesome frequent – but necessary – level crossing closures seem to be putting even greater strain on the East Road traffic flow. There are four pedestrian traffic-light controlled crossings at the most congested part of our town’s roads, none of which appear to be synchronised.
