AN ARTICLE in Community News Kidlington, (July 9), highlighted poor air quality on the Bicester Road.

This is surely not helped by the large number of LGVs and coaches that illegally use the 7.5-ton limit road as a shortcut from the southbound A34, in to the village.

Perhaps the Cherwell Council’s next monitor could look out for this abuse and report it accordingly, as the elimination of this practice will obviously help the situation.
