New map graphics
We created these to show the negative impacts and environmental damage of the proposed A38 expansion after discussions with local politicians who had not seen the planning documents and were unaware of the scheme’s harms.
The scheme’s planning documents are available here for anyone who wants to fact check our work: https://national-infrastructure-consenting.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/projects/TR010022
Email your councillors and MP these maps

Just write something short in your own words that you object to the A38 expansion, the maps show how damaging it would be and the Government should use the £600 million to fund sustainable transport solutions instead.
