Ms H Gerald said:"This road does not benefit anyone except developers, and a near-bankrupt council should have long since stopped the project. The motives for pursuing it are not for the benefit of the public who pay for it. "Pollution levels will rise in these areas with the increased traffic. The construction itself generates a massive carbon footprint."
"You cannot get from one side of the town to the other especially from north Shropshire or Battlefield to the hospital in good time," he said.Another supporter, Mr David Moreno, said:"As a local resident I fully support this proposal and it is long overdue. The air quality in the town centre will improve as will the traffic flow around Shrewsbury."
