The Humble Petition of Wroughton and Croft Road residents and others in the Borough of Swindon and elsewhere of like disposition. Sheweth That having petitioned Swindon Borough Council on 24th November 2005 and having received a response that the matter would not be debated further on the grounds that planning permission for the Southern Development Area known as Swindon's Front Garden has already been granted and having found that this response in no way answered the question and Petition which pointed out that the conditions have yet to be met for the Croft Road to Hay Lane Link with tunnel under the M4 with direct connection to M4 Junction 16, that the road is not yet adopted in the development plan, alternative routes have not been properly considered and there have been changes of circumstance. Wherefore your Petitioners pray that your honourable House shall urge the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister to consider the plight of the residents of Wroughton and Croft Road and others in the Borough of Swindon and elsewhere who fear the consequences for traffic and carbon emissions and endeavour to ensure that the alternative route crossing the railway and linking back to Swindon with shorter local journeys and the opportunity for a public transport interchange is now considered. And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, &c.
