Sir – I don’t know whether the subject has been raised before, but has a trick been missed by the Highways Agency or the body responsible for road planning in the construction/rebuilding of the A34 bridge over the A40? Surely this this would have been an opportune time to alleviate the horrendous congestion that occurs at the Woodstock Road roundabout by providing access to/from the two roads without having to travel between the Peartree and Woodstock Road roundabouts.

Slips roads could have been provided to allow eastbound A40 traffic to join the A34.

Even if this were limited access, ie not two-way I believe a one-off opportunity has been lost — probably forever.
