Credibility Bypass, not Traffic Bypass for Crediton

How patient do the people of Crediton have to be?

We know the patience of the current Conservative administration at County Hall has run out, because they've voted to abandon the best and only logical way of resolving Crediton's intense traffic problems - which is to get on and build the long-promised bypass.

We also know that no-one at County Hall has asked the Devon PCT/NHS Trust about morbidity and mortality data to see any effects of Crediton's citizen's enforced breathing of chronicly high amounts of polluted air.

How many people in Crediton die early because of too long
 an exposure to high risk Crediton air? Who knows?

How many people in Crediton suffer more frequent or serious heart and lung complaints than do people elsewhere? Who knows?

How many more people suffer cancer compared with the Devon norm? Who knows?

Why weren't these vital facts found out before the County Council made its astonishing decision to abandon the bypass? Who knows?

I'm helping the hard-working Crediton Traffic Action Group  CTAG to push for answers. Land for the bypass route must remain protected whilst the answers are found.
The premature 'release' of the land bypass astonishes me.
Anyone who wants to join CTAG can do so here
