The traffic at Norwich Longwater has repeatedly effected the lives of the local residents, especially since the implementation of new shops and restaurants. Residents of the local area now are regularly brought to a traffic stand still when minor accidents occur due to the one road in and out of Queens Hills and the poor traffic management in this area. The council have long had warnings and requests from local residents but seem either unwilling or unable to suggest positive change. 

Proper traffic management at the Longwater roundabout is needed and additional entrances to the retail park are needed in addition to an alternative route on and off the estate of Queens Hills (if only in an emergency, or at times of high traffic) 

The ambulance station on this route also needs to be considered and the threat to public lives due to delayed arrival times must be considered.
