Breed animals and use them for food and begins there like it we're going to hear from both sides Meanwhile people who live in Liverpool have described a new road to the city's port as an act of vandalism the urging highways England to go back to the drawing board it's a bypass yet to be built but it's being given full approval is designed to relieve congestion on one of the city's busiest roads the a 5036 which links the recently referred port with the motorway the sticking point is that the new bypass would cut through the middle of a much loved green space called Rim Rose Valley Park critics say it will sever the community and render the park as nothing more than 2 strips of land at the roadside there edging highways England to look again at proposals for a tunnel instead they say time is running out work is due to begin on the bypass in 2020 perhaps you live in that port part of Liverpool How do you feel about the loss of that green space in such an urban area maybe you feel it's worth sacrificing to get some relief from the heavy traffic that clogs the roads or do you say hang on in the 21st century all we need to know about new roads is that they increase traffic are made to stop building them cause it doesn't work over 828-8291 email via that b.b.c. Doc at u.k. Because Peter kit Tim Gamen from highways England in a moment but 1st I'm joined by Stuart Bennett from rim Rose Valley friends and good afternoon to you and you kept a very close eye on this yeah ever since the announcement was made at the end of August last year the fall of the consultation process and put forward they only gave us 2 options both of which were equally terrible and this is the one that they decided to go with so since that happened we've been. Trying to raise awareness of that is happening both locally and nationally and you came you moved recently from North Wales is that right that's right you know you've got regardless of the road you've gone from pretty open area to accommodation and so you're quite sensitive about green space that's right yeah I mean. This is on our doorstep and it's something that is really important to me and my fiance when we were looking for a new house we've got an 18 month old daughter and we want to sort of like the access to the countryside and green space that I grew up with and benefit from that when I move from North Wales every syllable I notice that my occasional lost my became more serious and I really need to store it in Halo mornin and even which is obviously not ideal to say the least and it means that I'm particularly worried about my daughter's health and the health of all the children and elderly in the area because they're the ones at most risk of pollution and we've heard the reasons for the road which is that it's got to relieve pressure on another road which comes from the port of the ports been refurbished and I guess that's seems like inevitably something's got to give Doesn't this yeah I mean we don't dispute that there's a problem obviously the roads are congested but the project's core called the Port of Liverpool Access scheme so it's been delivered to specifically help the port of Liverpool and what we're saying is if you can if you can to go about that you need to be considerate of the local population and it can't be done at any cost and the cost in this case is to people's health and describe rim Rose Valley and what it means to you already said he you like the idea of living near it you go walking in it yeah I'd say between As we take our daughter on rumors probably at least 3 or 4 times a week either in the running buggy on the back of a bike in the summer when it's when it's a bit less slippy It's a beautiful spot it's a very large but was it as you've described it long stretch of land and there's a path down the middle and then dozens of path off to the side it links communities at children use a as a way to go. Even from school people use it as a way to get to and from work and it's absolutely haven for cyclists joggers walkers people who love wildlife and it's just a beautiful place throughout the season Stay with us you have got to game in on the line who's regional delivery director for the northwest the highways England and did you have to go through the park Tim. Well what we're trying to do here is I think the description that's been given around the options that we've had and the purpose of the ski team it's got multiple purposes one is to actually relieve the congestion on the existing 853601 is to try to reduce that congestion we used to get poor journey time reliabilities on the existing road we had a high accident rate on the existing road so we had to relieve the congestion on the existing road and we wanted to support also for the economic growth of the region the new port development which is recently opened and it is growing so the amount of freight traffic that's going to the existing poor will increase and we can't put that new freight traffic down the existing road because of the the existing congestion we have so we looked at options one option was to can we improve the junctions on the existing road can we put underpasses can we find some way of improving the alignment to get the traffic down the existing road near turn it evolves to put a bypass that links the motorway to the port which would relieve traffic on the existing road could we that was one of the alternatives put forward when we looked in balance we looked at the costs we looked at the benefits. That the h. Key pad the preferred option was to put it through to put the bypass through folly but the idea is that I understand if you look at the map it's a very diddle precious little finger of grain you've got there and you going to put this freight right through the middle of it so you know I think she lose the whole thing. What happened is when we when we would low community around how would he try to mitigate any of the impacts of a scheme we recognised Of course that this is a bit sensitive to the fact that we're proposing to build this dual carriageway on this was described as a much valued and used green space. But what we want to make sure is that we can work with the local communities as to how we might need to get ate some of the impact of the ski wants to make sure it is right and yes do these once isn't going to just come in that I mean the point to work with the communities was prior to this in the consultation process and deliver in a suite of options that were sympathetic to the environment and sympathetic to people's health and what you've actually done we're going down the route now of making the you say was the preferred option it wasn't the public's preferred option the public actually opted to develop the junctions on the exist in road so it was the consultation process and then ignore the outcome what we're saying is a campaign is it's not good enough to either destroy the valley or improve the existing road because the people along the road to have suffered for a long time with noise pollution those cases of usma bronchitis a.o.p. Day and that we really needed to go back to the drawing board to be honest and come up with you know intelligent long term solutions for for this problem we know there's a problem we just want you to work with us not 12 you don't improve the existing right either so what would your solution be then well Sefton Council have brought a judicial review of the consultation process on the grounds that not all options are not enough options were presented to the public specifically a tunnel so the been proposed to remember is really a total could be a solution now and I was reading the press release from Highways Agency before I came on the show and and 10 specifically says it was never viable on the grounds of cost alone and I What with. We've looked at all the schemes that are taking place in the u.k. There's the lower times crossing which admittedly the geography is different they need to cross the river so we're told it was always going to be an option there right but that's that scheme is costing 6000000000 pounds to deliver to the road through remeasure Valley is being done on the cheap it's 250000000 pounds and it's a quick and easy way for highways England to alleviate a process that. Will take a valley out because it's cheaper is that is that how the thinking goes is. No I think when you look at any game what we're trying to do is to make sure that the benefits that the game delivers are in excess of the cost of the scheme untypically we work on a ratio of say we need twice as many or more benefits than the costs list game is a viable ski team when the cost of the skate park 250000000 cut off the period the cost of a tunnel is $1500000000.00 so you get the same benefits but you get a higher cost Ok And so that's why the tunnel option was actually discussed earlier on and in 2014 it was discussed it wasn't put forward as a viable option into the preferred route simply because the benefits didn't just decide the least 6 times the cost to construct it and then I guess to add that in the end is the point well it depends really what price you want to put on public health and personally I think expending extra money on a solution that is environmentally sound and protect the public is well worth it as I say we see massive disparities in public expenditure across the country we see projects like Crossrail and h.s. To have been tens of billions of pounds thrown at them the lower times crossing another one of highways Englands our schemes is going ahead a cost of $6000000000.00 for that I know why is the public health of the community communities down in the south worth less in the north all right now you're in a band called the reeds who we've played already it to your vocalist guitarist with a fantastic you've actually written a song about this which will we'll play but just tell me. What the song says and what drives you to do it yeah I realize the scope the capacity to be a taxable piece of cheese but I know the reason I did it is that our community come up with lots of creative ways to oppose this road and it's just the beginning people make homemade signs they place from across the valley people are doing their own artist impression kind of taking the mick out of highways England just impression of what the existing road can look like what I wanted to do was something that was personal and creative to make so I just remember all the friends community on Facebook for their stories and put it in the form of a song The reason I want to do that is because I hope it resonates with your listeners across the country because everybody's got their own remote valley that they grow up with so it's kind of hope so hopefully describes what's at stake Stuart Bennett from rim Rose Valley friends thank you here's the song. a little patch of green and the arguments for paving it over. And it's a little bit Joni Mitchell This isn't a paved paradise and turn it into a parking lot but the audience sitting there the cost arguments are almost irrefutable but you feel something very very precious is being lost you just can't measure it in pounds and pence and so we're talking here about Rimmer's Valley and thanks as well Tim Gamen the regional delivery day directed at the tough old job of coming on the air and explaining why you got to put a road through it Allan Prince emails and says the road will destroy a country park is just so lorry drivers and motorists can go faster until that road gets choked with traffic and becomes another car park should people battle to save rim Rose Valley is a little if you look on the map it is a little finger shape of Sweden finger of land Carolyn Smith in Liverpool you've been using it since you were told her. Think I could write my. On my brothers and sisters we would walk across about it we follow a lot like little little ducklings across the park walking back to where we need more to lay down my partner Janet and I we live on that ghost that we used to call the time and find a little poke now it is a paradise and sad I. Gave a shit a racist. All about pale pale held things on and on a Chinese are calling it you try but you're going to explain it as we have mentioned peel Yeah that's the ports the people who are not right people here but surely the argument for the port is that he's creating a lot of jobs he asked Big ships the pirates Panama the port then I think any Q Yes I'm the put a. Mark on coming in my cousin actually. And he's sad attempt at a Canon Mark I'm not counting 6 right I say Ok Thank you Kate parrot emails I've grown up around Crosby I've been lucky enough to enjoy many walks and bike rides across the full rim Rose Valley throughout my childhood and now with my own children the wildlife that we get in our gardens from Rose is amazing and this is going to be stolen from us by peel ports and highways if the road goes ahead now we talk to the highways guy if you'll peel ports of course you can call and explain why you need the bypass there's a bypass going through a what seems like a very precious finger of Green Park detailer is in Del bt Dumfries and Galloway and you've done that area from the your time in the fossil of a stage. Yes hello do you know. I used to be based at the local fire station which code grocery for container but I found also remember. This is in the eighties and early nineties film very familiar with the area and I know for a fact that there's a railway line links to the national railway system that goes into royal c. For so why can't this be upgraded and so instead of one driver and his h.g.v. Taking long container by road you can get one train driver towing only containers behind his train into the dock system and taking all a she retrieved because the road did point to speak to Colin Jones in Liverpool as well id and if you had to defend the. Valley to call in is that where you live Yeah well it's not really where I live now for I was born and brought So a little miles from Rosalie. On this 2 sides of the story is not you know how to see where people are coming from a small amounts of green space that's going to get sued Opal My grandfather was long since gone he remembers when are the sides of the coa
