'Make the A34 A motorway'

Local politicians are out in force posing for the headlines over demands for conversion of the A34 into a motorway. The trouble is this will not solve the problem of bad driving, traffic jams and lack of adequate investment in rail investment in the country’s rail freight network.

A better answer is to tackle this problem properly, we need to update and upgrades the railway links between Southampton - Oxford - Birmingham. Also convert the A34 into a toll road with variable toll rates. Improve the quality of public transport in the county in order to cut demand for private car use e.g. create a light rail network for Oxford and open up the old rail routes in Oxfordshire including the Oxford to Witney and Oxford to Milton Keynes routes.But the trouble is such useful pork barrel projects our county's politicians show too little interest in, since such useful projects that would really make life better for Oxfordshire residents. No they would rather spend the next ten weeks on holiday.
