CLOUD Cuckoo Land!

That is where you will find the planners and councillors who believe the proposed changes at Wolvercote roundabout will make things better.

They are proposing that two of the approaches are made wide enough for three lanes. Are they mad? Or just blind? At one point on the eastbound section of the roundabout they are actually planning four lanes.

Most traffic using it at present doesn’t use the lane it is meant to anyway. What are needed are pedestrian and cycle bridges and a reduction in the number of lanes on the roundabout, along with a slight remodelling to make it rounder. Far cheaper and safer. I put this proposal to the people of Oxfordshire.
