Very many thanks for this, Liz. In my emails to the above Shropshire councillors, only Bernie Bentick has had the decency to respond. Apathy and acquiescence is rife amongst those responsible!
Highways England, Shropshire CC and relevant Shrewsbury organisations all need to work together for the massive improvements needed.
P&R sites are essential but, I think really effective and strong stick and carrot measures must be used to cut congestion, slow the decline in worldwide oil reserves and to cut deadly GHG emissions. Really and ideally, oil is too essential for its 101 other uses, for it to end up burnt, gone for ever and to warm the atmosphere alarmingly.
A rethink and review to make them popular is urgent. We are too wedded and welded to our cars but we ALL must use buses very much more. My wife and I do with our free travel passes for OAPs in England. We have cut our car use as a result.
