THE feasibility study report seems to infer one third of the congestion is caused by people from outside the town. Therefore £51.6 million is going to be spent requiring two thirds of the population to drive outside the town to join the motorway, ie no solution.
Remedy = either take away the traffic lights where the hold up occurs and replace them with a traffic policeman on a plinth, officers do this in the cities controlling as many as six junctions. Police control the traffic in the event of an accident. Or build flyovers as they have in Cardiff.
Regarding lorries travelling through the estates of course in most cases they are breaking the law, will it stop with a bypass, no. Remedy, lower the roads under the bridges. Despite what the politicians and parliamentary candidates say we won’t be able to rely on Shrewsbury and Telford Trusts to provide health services in the future.
£51.6 million will help to provide a much needed hospital .
