New M20 will drive through the heart of my community

I AM writing to object to the proposed M20 motorway.

It enters the community where I have lived for more than 50 years.

As well as the adverse effects the proposal will inevitably have on the vibrant community life of my village, the route poses several practical problems from the perspective of both the local community and the road planners. The proposed route through Ballycosgary, Ballyhea, travels through a flood plain. The area is subject to severe flooding from the river Awbeg many times every year.
