Rising concern over rural traffic
RESEARCH often tells us what we already know, or suspect – although that does not stop it from being useful.
But sometimes it produces unexpected results.
Take this example.
Traffic was the most commonly issue of residents’ concern, according to an analysis of parish plans and market town health checks published in a new book, ‘Glimpses of Rural England’ by Malcolm Moseley (See Chapter 1).
Not affordable housing. Not the lack of public transport or other services. And not even the lack of provision for young people, which often gets a mention in such surveys.
Time to investigate, I decided.
