We object to this change as we believe it will cause more traffic congestion on the other two junctions and will restrict our connections.

Completely removing vehicular connectivity across the railway line forces all north-south traffic onto surrounding external arterial roads (Fonthill Road / R113 and Grange Castle Road).

As highlighted in the Council’s own Bridge Removal Assessment Modelling Report (Systra, 2025), removing this vehicular link results in significant traffic rerouting. The report states the following: An  issue was identified in  both  the  AM  and  PM for  this  junction. The  impacts  of  the  road  removal  may require mitigation to address the impact at this junction.
