We support wholeheartedly the building of a western by-pass around Stratford-upon-Avon. It will involve another river crossing and link up to the A46 and then the M40 on the western and northern sides of the town.

In our view, this is distinctly preferable to any eastern by-pass, potentially cutting through Tiddington or Alveston, over the river Avon and then the wide flood-plain across to the undersized Warwick Road. Anyone who knows this area will have seen the extensive flooding that develops following any extensive period of rain. Any work would therefore be complex, very expensive and fraught with danger.

Another key reason for the western by-pass is the need to relieve the pressure on the Clopton Bridge, which, after several hundred years of use, is showing its age and is no longer fit for purpose as a key route into town.
