00:00 We're extremely worried about the Shropshire Council's proposal for the station gyratory,
00:08 where they proposed to make the street behind us two-way, Chester Street.
00:15 So all the traffic turning right out of Cross Street behind us under the bridge will now come past our front door.
00:22 Obviously that may be an increase of 30% in traffic and the associated pollution.
00:28 So we just don't think that that's a fair thing to happen to our neighbourhood.
00:36 They're also going to take out the traffic light system so that at the junction you can apparently turn right out of Chester Street to go under the bridge.
00:47 You'll then be turning right into Chester Street and without the traffic lights we can't see how the traffic can flow.
00:57 Since Covid ended the traffic has gone up quite considerably and in fact the soot on our outside furniture is quite thick.
01:08 For that to be even worse would be quite disappointing to be honest with you.
01:15 Yes, hopefully because we have been in touch with the council once we realised this project was being consulted on,
01:23 we have asked for a meeting for residents which they are hoping to do in the next couple of weeks.
