Representation Summary:

Application for quarry in Waveney Forest Fritton Norfolk
I would like to point out the amount of traffic has increased dramatically on the A143 through Fritton and St Olaves since the new road from Bradwell to Gorleston was opened. I live on the A143 at St Olaves, and on more than a number of occasions have seen , from my kitchen window, ambulances with flashing lights brought to a halt by the amount of traffic. This is surely putting people's lives at risk. The number of ambulances back and forth to James Paget Hospital use this road more than ever now, as it is quicker than the former route. Heavy lorries from a quarry would add to congestion, and would not be safe. Please consider people's lives and safety when dealing with this application.
