Sir – Did any of your other readers hear the item on BBC Radio Four’s Today programme recently about the Government’s plans to charge local authorities £5,000 per day when roadworks are left unattended with nothing being done?
For once I find myself in agreement with this Government, and wonder if £5,000 per day is enough.
Judging by current practice at the two roundabout ‘improvements’ on the A40, this could prove a nice little earner over the projected timespan to completion.
