“There has not been any discussion on a viable alternative that reduces congestion and stops the rat‑running through Wiltshire villages.”
Rare British (or Australian?) English W for inventing the term “rat-running.” It means cutting through residential neighborhoods to avoid traffic congestion.
What about better and broader train and bus service???
Yeah so you can put car inside them to carry them to the destination.
To be fair that’s part of a proud British tradition of spending fuckloads on planning projects and then not building them.
See the £43 million cancelled Garden bridge, half of HS2, Lower Thames Crossing etc etc
Build a bridge, you have to spend money maintaining it and shit. Plan to build a bridge and never build it, you have just grown the gdp.
