Some residents of Woodside Terrace in Crumlin who believe their health is suffering, or despair at the constant roar of traffic, have welcomed the idea of the houses being razed. “I’ve had enough,” said Gloria Matthews, a 60-year-old carer who has lived on Woodside Terrace for 17 years. Though HGVs and vans represent only 4% of traffic on the road, they account for more than a third of emissions. Options included in a draft action plan include:• Compulsory purchasing homes on Woodside Terrace and demolishing them. The Wales Green party said the health of residents was being sacrificed because lorries and cars had been prioritised over people.
