Demands are being made to prevent lorries from taking shortcuts through the town centre.
I really can’t understand why discussions haven’t led to the construction of the third bridge yet.
I’m skeptical that this proposed scheme will have a positive impact, and I’m curious to see how it might affect my commute from Newbury to Sonning for work.
In my opinion, this initiative feels like mere posturing, and it seems like the MP is attempting to push Oxfordshire County Council into action regarding the bridge by raising the issue in Parliament.
It sounds like you’re expressing some valid concerns about the effectiveness of the proposed scheme to stop lorries from using town centre shortcuts. It’s understandable to be skeptical about whether it will truly address the traffic issues, especially if you regularly travel from Newbury to Sonning.
Building a third bridge could potentially be a more permanent solution to alleviate congestion and improve traffic flow, but navigating the decision-making process can be frustrating. It’s great that you’re engaging in the conversation and holding representatives accountable. Hopefully, more discussions will take place that lead to effective solutions that consider all commuters’ needs. Have you thought about what specific changes would improve your commuting experience?
