Environmental report completed in 2013 is this now acceptable on a road breaching pollution levels in 2021?

The request was successful.

Dear High Speed Two (HS2) Limited,
Residents have grave concerns regarding the Environmental report completed in 2013 to be used and accepted by the Local Authority to allow a additional 800 or more lorries a week on Tyburn road in Birmingham. A road that breaches pollution levels and already has up to 3000 HGV and freight passing daily within15 feet of our homes and four feet away from pedestrians also used by many children going to school. The traffic along here has more than doubled since this report was completed, there has been no mitigation put in place to deal with the additional yearly increase in traffic or the additional re routed traffic . Local health records for this small ward shows our life span has been reduced by eight years and declines yearly, preventable deaths are 68% higher than UK average.
Additional 800 plus HS2lorries on a road already at overcapacity and polluted with additional dust and noise pollution from these lorries and the reason given for using this road that it would be to expensive to use the A47 spine?
Can you confirm that this expense you refer to relates to CAZ charge in Birmingham which you would pay to reach the A47 avoiding residential homes in polluted areas.
If not can you break down what you are referring to as *expensive* in relation to Human Life.

Yours faithfully,

Amy row
