Dear Editor,

What a load of nonsense from Lord Lymington about his dream to build a huge development south of the M3. It is absolute rubbish to suggest that his plan could work under any present plans, mainly how do would you get an extra say 2,000 vehicles to exit his dream location on a normal traffic flow situation?

Those who use the A3345 for their normal travel to work experience a huge back up of vehicles trying to get under the motorway bridge. And this is every normal every working day. There appears to be no logical sense in pretending that all will be well and the road can cater for this situation, it simply not feasible and the people who have drawn up these plans need to go back to their desks.

Apart from the A3345, the only way to get under, or indeed over this bottleneck, to enter Basingstoke, or the M3, is to use Garlic Lane just south of Farleigh Wallop, a very small width carriageway which dumps the traffic onto a residential housing estate with schools and pupils, mums with prams etc, again it is impossible.

Lord Lymington has no plan whatsoever in developing, I understand, to build anything on the Farleigh Wallop Estate. Strange that he lives here well away from the messy transport which will swamp the area isn't it?

Yes, I admit that my lovely home, which my wife and I worked our socks off to afford, will be involved in the development area, but so will many others.

Having known Lord Lymington for most of his life, I hope he will remain steadfast in preserving his duty, entitlement and title of Lord Lymington.
