AS a nearby resident, I think the proposed new Metrolink tram stop at Buckley Wells would be a disaster. Traffic problems occur every day around 4pm; it is too frightening to contemplate the result of all this extra traffic.

Houghton Street and Baron Street were not designed for the kind of noise, pollution and damage to homes that a tram stop would surely cause. These proposals should be stopped.
