I wish to comment as follows on this Consultation:

1. I welcome plans to make this junction more friendly to pedestrians and cyclists and in so doing to slow down the traffic speed.

2. The proposed green area in the centre of the development will become a focus for the local community, which is much needed, and engender a greater community spirit.

3. The creation of local access only roads is a major step in the improvement to benefit folk who live and work (shops, etc.) on the current gyratory system.

4. However, if traffic lights are required at the junctions with Milton Road and Victoria Avenue these may contribute to continued congestion - why not consider a small round about?

5. Overall I think the proposed development will lead to much improvement in the Mitcham's Corner area.
