Rotherwas Access Road - and faint praise...
10:59am Thursday 17th July 2008
IN the past I have criticised the building of Rotherwas Access Road, not least because it destroyed the Rotherwas Ribbon, a unique national treasure.
Now I have actually travelled along it I have changed my mind. It is wonderful.
I thought it was only fair to test it, so I drove along the road at rush hour on the first Friday it was open, expecting to be squeezed between juggernauts and home-going commuters.
Instead I was the only one travelling westerly and only met two motor-bikes and two cars coming the other way. We waved at each other in the sheer joy of driving; it was just like the golden age of motoring.
Thank you Herefordshire Council for building me my own private road.
