The level of development at Colworth (2400 homes) and Twinwoods (3495 homes) will have an impact on journies from North Bedfordshire villages into Bedford along the A6 and on our rural roads and villages that already suffer from drivers cutting through to avoid traffic. The increase in the volume of traffic and the ensuing carbon dioxide emissions will have a negative effect on air quality. These huge developments have no place in the countryside. BBC needs reminding that it has declared a climate change emergency.
