Perhaps government at all levels from lowest to highest, and committees, have
taken into consideration the announcement over recent days of the trade
agreement concluded between East Asian and Pacific countries. An enormous
step. This will likely put evermore imports via Felixstowe. Exports post Brexit, and
the US election in question.
This new Asia -Pacific arrangement a “Trojan Horse” to further ulterior ambitions?
Whatever, traffic on this proposed line will impact villages such as Haslingfield,
my birthplace and home for over 50 years.
Products that arrive via Felixstowe will influence life through what appears on
supermarket shelves; popular products in many instances.
Eyes and thoughts are best turned beyond parish and local boundaries, important
though these are.

Proposed EWR to Felixstowe
Given the events over the last days, maybe thought be given by the interested
parties to the following. A change of resident in Washington’s White House
will probably alter perspectives on the anticipated mega trade deals. The view
vis-a-vis UK will likely be modified around Brexit arrangements.
The volume of container traffic reducing from previously proposed levels, both
ways. Sources of traffic from Asia/Pacific, may compensate(?)
Does a very expensive, contraversial line, support the foreseeable traffic?
Echos of HS2? Something that should be considered at all levels of
authority, from lowest to highest.
Tlmes may well be changing.
