TYPICAL roadworks set up. I travelled back into Oxford around 3.15pm on Tuesday and queued for about two miles towards Cutteslowe roundabout before finding that one lane had been coned off.

I could see no reason why this section of road had been reduced to one lane as there was no sign of any workers on the section and no sign of any work being carried out.

This obstruction lengthened my journey by at least half-an-hour.

Surely it could be arranged to just cone off lanes when work is in progress.
