At last night’s district council meeting, councillors were told that any proposal to dual the A10 between the A142 at Witchford Road and the A142 at Angel Drove will not happen for at least another five years.

I told the council that this was worrying and that action is needed much more quickly. The A10 is already congested at this point, and this will only get worse after Ely’s traffic bottleneck is moved from the railway crossing to the A10 junctions. To let the problem reach crisis point before it is addressed is short sighted in the extreme.
