Getting away from Henlys is easy in any direction. Getting to Henlys is easy
from any direction if you know the small roads, which the locals would.

The people in those houses have probably been
suffering from blight for the last 20 years and are
waiting for *any* work to proceed just so they
can get their houses valued and move out if possible!

A flyover would spread out ~50mph traffic noise
nicely over a much wider area.


A flyover would create moving 50mph traffic where there is now a permanent
traffic jam. The large size of the buildings on the north side would
probably prevent the sound from spreading. There would also be an increase
in traffic, both from local traffic which currently avoids the area, and
also from longer distance traffic which currently uses the M25 because
Henlys is so bad.
