I think the Western Access Road is good news, it might just take some of the pressure off the town centre. I think the junction by Halfords will have to be widened to cope with the volume of traffic though. Based on the growth of the Borough, we need some additional road infrastructure - i'm all for using public transport and bikes where we can, but to be honest until people are happy to get out of their cars, the road infrastructure we have is insufficient. People aren't happy when roads aren't built, and aren't happy when they are. It's a no win! The money is coming from central government, so if it hadn't come to Stafford, it would have gone somewhere else - think i'd rather we benefited from it!
