Towns that desperately need a bypass - your nominations

[zafferana]

Aylesbury

I thought Long Stratton was getting a bypass?

Tintwistle

@Thursday37

Melton Mowbray- allegedly it’s coming……

Aye right, I’ll believe it when I see it. And when I mean ‘it,’ I mean tarmac and a central reservation, not Alicia and her pals posing with a pen and serious looks on their faces

@Charlieandlola

Marlborough- huge lorries thundering down narrow streets on the way from m4 / Swindon to Salisbury

YES!

Bath

*1. Bad traffic

1. Build a bypass
2. Build retail parks on the town side of the bypass
3. People drive on the bypass to go to the retail parks
4. Build houses in spare land town-side, right up to the bypass.
5. All those new people drive
6. Build houses on the non-town side of the bypass
7. Bypass now gridlocked
8. Sat nav always tells you to drive through the town/city as quicker

10. Town traffic now worse than before the bypass*

11. Everyone shops at new out of town retail parks
12. Town centre shops close

Midhurst

Anyone else waiting to see if their town comes up 😂

Stourbridge West Midlands. It's a nightmare and has been for years.

@JaniceBattersby Quite! I’m not convinced! DD is at nursery in Melton and the traffic drives me batshit.
I go to Oakham and Stamford over Melton otherwise. We ruled out loads of houses that would involve driving through Melton to get to work.

Westbury, Wiltshire (was supposed to get one back in the noughties, didn't happen)

Harrogate.

Arundel. They've been debating it for c20 years.

Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire.
The evening crawl to get through it takes forever. And even longer during the very frequent road works that plague the main road.

@HeddaGarbled agree with you, the answer is nowhere.

Tackle the men with bedroom inadequacies who drive BMWs, enforce other bad and illegal driving practices, have SUVs only driven by those who have taken their test in one, the list goes on.

Market Rasen. Especially on race meeting days.

Southend

Don't need more bypasses.
Need less cars.

Has Glossop got one yet ?

@Jules58

Stourbridge West Midlands. It's a nightmare and has been for years.

Doesn't the hideous ring road count as a bypass?

Not yet, work allegedly starting next year

Glossop I mean, reply fail

@Charlieandlola

Agree

Petworth and Midhurst, West Sussex.

Seconded.
