The Highways Agency: You've gotta admire their grit

One thing the Highways Agency must be admired for: when they take a stance, nothing short of dynamite will shift them. Despite repeated requests from the public and our MP they still refuse to speak to the public.

Below is the latest letter sent to Sir George Young MP, outlining the HA's view on the Tufton sliproad. I think the most telling sentence is "...the site has not been identified as a location that needs to have a reduction in speed."

I know a few people who beg to differ, but that's by the by.

What they do say in this letter is that they will provide "a full response" to issues raised, before the meeting.

Today the HA have been sent this reminder, with Sir George Young in copy:

=======================================
Dear ...

It is now nearly two weeks since I wrote with the below questions. I have received a copy of your reply to Sir George Young dated 23rd November, in which you advise him that you will not be attending the meeting but you promise Sir George that I will have "a full response before the meeting".

I trust that it is simply taking some time to collate these answers, and that the Highways Agency will be responding in full to the eight questions raised below prior to the 19th December.

Regards
