Your front page article of the Droitwich Spa Advertiser of May 20, 2015 would appear to have been produced by a youthful reporter after consulting various local residents of similar age.
For this reason they have, between them, conveniently overlooked an aspect of traffic management on the A38 which would involve massive capital expenditure!
The “forgotten” agreement dates from the time when planners were costing the construction of the Droitwich By-Pass and could not afford the fly-over section where the A38 crosses the Kidderminster Road.
To produce the by-pass as it is now, it was promised that the situation would be reviewed when the volume of traffic at that junction merited construction of the fly-over for which the original plans must remain somewhere in a dusty alcove.
If Tim Jones is correct in his calculation of traffic volume travelling north from Yew Tree Hill and Copcut, the majority on the A38, surely it is now time for both the fly-over to be erected and for the stretch of the A38 past the Chateau Impney to be widened as far as the Wychbold junction with the M5.
Do other of your readers share my slightly longer memory?
