Sir – It’s good to see that the new Waitrose on Botley Road is offering trailers for cyclists to ‘reduce traffic congestion on the Botley Road’.
Well, at the so-called ‘public consultation’ meeting before planning permission was granted a Waitrose consultant re-assured us that ‘according to our extensive computer modelling this store will have little impact on the levels of traffic on the Botley Road’.
So, nothing to worry about then for those of us who live along the Botley Road and use it every day.
