traffic in Newbury Options

[Bill Kenikabs]

Why do we have so much traffic in Newbury?? Because it is caught up in the rush to get out ....... the main reason is because the called this ring road the A339 when it should be a B road ensuring that through traffic avoids the town this must lay with Highways and our Goverment lucky they do not drive to Newbury or come shopping here.

Surely the money for the project should be spend on what happens inside? As long as the outside is weather-resistant, what the building actually looks like it at the bottom of the list of priorities?

The headline when it opened could have read

"Hospital scandal. Wins architectural award but no money left to equip it or even turn the lights on. Architect - I was told to make it look nice."

Agreed, but would it have cost that much more, if any at all, to make it look nicer?
If all buildings were designed on your basis as above then it would be a pretty horrendous place to live would it not?
And Prince Charles would not be a happy man!!
Would you buy a house that looked like a box?
PS. The rip off parking fees charged at hospitals could be used to make the buildings a little more aesthetic?
