Andrew
Suter, Far View, Ampleforth.
I REFER to the Government’s decision to place the A303 going past
Stonehenge into a tunnel at a cost upwards of £1.6bn to preserve the peace and
tranquillity of the historic site.
For this money, the A64 could be dualled all the way from York to
Scarborough. The peace, tranquillity and health of thousands of people would
have benefitted on a daily basis as villages along the route were
bypassed.
It is no surprise that Scarborough is in the top 10 UK towns for
bankruptcy with the current chronic transport links it
suffers.
What a shame the councils along the route haven’t got English Heritage
fighting their corner.
The A64 issue is a national disgrace and politicians should hang their
heads in shame over the lack of investment in
it.
