WITH regards to the new 99-house development near Tiverton Avenue in Hindley Green, I am one of the residents opposing the decision.

If the development opens up Tiverton Avenue, cars may use it as a shortcut.

This needs to be stopped as this will result in extra traffic through the estate and therefore Bellway Homes should allow access through Corner Lane only.

I am not sure why Tiverton Avenue has to be added to this project.

If this goes ahead against the residents’ wishes, there should be a traffic monitor set up to show results to the council that this is a huge negative.

Kids playing in the quiet streets of Tiverton Avenue and Taunton Avenue will no longer be free to play without being at risk.

There should also be a promise if traffic volumes increase by cars using it as a cut through then access to Tiverton Avenue should be removed.
