Go straight for a bypass
Any attempt to improve the traffic flow in Boston must be applauded because improvement is urgently required, and is as necessary here in Boston as any town in England.
It would be cynical to say that the council is providing more 'car parking space' on the highway by adding these extra traffic lanes, but probably true as the traffic flow will be only marginally better.
Coun Austin's description of another 'vital step towards a bypass' which must be enacted before the Government will contemplate a bypass could be circumvented because the citizens of Boston can tell them now that the bypass will be necessary at the end of it all.
The Boston Transport Strategy's 10.3 million fund would be better spent on digging the footings of a bypass, rather than wasting it on something we all know the answer to.
Never mind silly schemes operating buses through pedestrianised Narrow Bargate, let us see real progress towards a bypass.
