The road is vital to the ability to secure a suitable ring road around Shrewsbury ensuring access to vital emergency services on the West from the East and North of the County.
Several times accidents have occurred on the A5 to the South of Shrewsbury blocking emergency access to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital from the North and East of the County.
Considering that potentially the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital will be the main accident centre for Shropshire surely the North West Relief road, in practise a circular road, would guarantee that access would be maintained if another accident on the southern section of the A5 blocked it.
The road is also vital to relieve the pressure on minor roads which are used by excessive traffic to try to get from North/East Shrewsbury to the West.
These minor roads are also subject to traffic fumes/pollutants which in the long-term effect residents and potentially increase chances of developing lung and heart problems or even fatality.
