No to 18a

Junction 18a update: A sure fire way to bring more traffic and pollution directly into the area. All villages suffer. Kingswood and surrounds suffer. Those who benefit live further afield and simply use it as a rat run from the M4. Use the £446,000,000 on something better.

Breaking News: New service station including a KFC to be built in Lyde Green!! as local resident unveils their scheme to cash in on junction 18a by securing planning to convert their home into the new facility for the area. Residents divided as some prefer Subway. #NoTo18a

Rumour has it that some house prices are set to go up in the local area after 18a. The ones with planning permission to become a service station that is.

Highways England make the ultimate decision on junction 18a in 2022. The Western option is recommended by local council. A lot can happen in 4 years you know....

Where is between potential junction 18a location and Bristol? You guessed it....Kingswood!! Isn’t it ironic that the MP for Kingswood is campaigning to become an even more congested rat run. Ever wonder why?... Is it about transport...or planning permissions?!! 🤔💷💰

It doesn’t take a genius to see 18a would create more through traffic ruining the constituencies of the two main supporting MP’s. Chris Skidmore & Luke Hall. A 4 year old child with a novelty map could sus this out. Literally campaigning for congestion to those they represent.

Junction 18a. Otherwise known as....’watch Chris Skidmore campaign to increase traffic and congestion for his voters’ The studies from CH2M commissioned with the money he secured, show more traffic down the ring road, more in Kingswood and more on the A420. #NoTo18a

The south Bristol link road opens, now it’s on to redefining the green belt and building next to it. Do people really think it will be different with junction 18A? It brings more builds, more traffic....yes...MORE TRAFFIC. #NoTo18A nitter.gq/bristolpost/status/947…

JUNCTION 18A Otherwise known as the plan to fool the public into allowing them to open up more green belt planning and swamp the area with more traffic on the back of it! About planning not 'transport' Let's keep the green belt instead! #NoTo18a

westofengland.org/transport/… Previous 18a study found it to be a major negative, bringing more cars in and very poor value. What's changed since 2006? They want access to planning to build a lot more. 18a brings Green Belt building...and more traffic. #NoBrainer

Junction 18a: Spend £446,000,000 during a period of austerity, to divide local communities, sell off Green Belt to planners, bring more cars into the area. #NoTo18a

Local residents have been duped into simply arguing over the location of possible junction 18a. Nobody wants it near them. The word 'NIMBY' being fired around by all. Those squabbling should unite... Against 18a. It brings Green Belt building & more cars.

Hammond says in the Autumn budget that the Green Belt will be protected. Right now though the JSP says Coalpit Heath are getting theirs built on. If Junction 18a gets built then the Green Belt adjacent will be built on too. More builds = more cars. No thanks!

Passionate locals at the TRAPP'D meeting in Thornbury tonight. One of the more light hearted moments here as Councillor Riddle is speaking. Quick wit from the crowd. Good questions in the room. Good early speech from @CPRE and @ClaireforTAY too. #Thornbury

People think Junction 18a is about transport.... Tell the planning companies that want to open up the green belt and bring more congestion.Text book plan for growing the current issue! Alternatives are being looked at, they need attention from SGC and HE #NoTo18a #SaveTheRingRoad

Green Belt protected?... No problem. Build a link road through it then use that to claim 'exceptional circumstances' to open up the planning permission...and also make the link road fully congested...more traffic...less green space bristolpost.co.uk/news/brist…

Attaching a motorway to the ring road again, then building through the green belt. It all ads up to one thing.... MORE CONGESTION. Not less.
