To get an accurate survey then you have to include rush hour, though they should have taken more care about the queues they caused in doing the survey.

The questions took about two minutes to answer so if you were stuck there thirty minutes by refusing to answer them, then more fool you.

There was no way of doing the survey by counting cars as they were trying to find out where people were coming from and going to. Essential in order to find out whether this NW Relief Road is necessary.

How can you complain about the survey in one paragraph and then complain about the traffic problems in the town in the next. It is only by doing accurate surveys that the traffic planners can properly manage the situation.

Dr Andrew France wants better traffic flow but does not want accurate traffic surveys. I’d suggest you cannot have it both ways.

That said, I do think it is crazy that the traffic survey is only just being carried out, years after the Relief Road was first proposed.

I totally agree with Dr France, I was travelling to Telford and could not believe the traffic going to Shrewsbury, unfortunately my Partner was made redundant 2 months ago and had an interview that day, we only have one car, on this day he had to drive me to work in Telford and come back to Shrewsbury, if he had gone this route back he would of been late for his interview that day! I am no expert on Traffic but come one everyone know’s this is the main route and how many car’s each day use this road!! Again a complete waste of tax payers money! But there again putting tax payers money in overseas accounts says everything!!!!!
