Sir – About 17 years ago, I took a class from The Batt CE School into Witney town centre to investigate the scale of the traffic congestion and to look at the suggested solution of the Cogges Link Road.

Seventeen years later, no decision has still been taken. It’s little wonder that the Government has to review the current planning procedures as a matter of urgency, or the current cycle of proposals, inquiries, appeals, etc, will reduce the whole process to a farce.
