Flintshire residents and community stake-holders have a brief  opportunity to make comment and express preferences on latest proposals for main-highways in the county. Welsh Government recently exhibited two possible route options to the public. 
"Blue" route -which would add a new lane, to each side of an existing dual-carriageway. This would pass through several established communities which are already experiencing unacceptable levels of traffic noise and air-pollution. Most of the local access slip-roads would be lost using this route. 

The "Red" route -would create an alternative fast connection from Shotwick, to join the A55 expressway at Northop. The new road would skirt the Deeside Industrial Park, crossing the Dee via the existing, at present little-used, "Flintshire Bridge". 

Deadline for stakeholder comments and questionnaire response is 5 June 2017. No time to spare. Make your views known and support the RED (Flintshire Bridge) option. Let's all work to REDuce traffic and pollution on our local roads. https://consultations.gov.wales/node/10921/respond-online

This clip was compiled by local volunteers who share concerns for the health and well-being of some 4000 people who live in  communities located close-to the existing carriageways.
