I attended the Parliamentary launch today of Transport for the South East’s strategy. I stressed to them the road improvements we need on the recently identified strategic local networks, where they now have a role in progressing or lobbying for schemes.
They said their immediate priority was to get the government to back a third river crossing for Reading, where Oxfordshire has been reluctant in the past.
The Executive summary they gave me mainly concerns general principles and a thirty year view. They are consulting on it, so people with ideas and views might like to log onto their site www.transportforthesoputheast.org.uk

Sketch out the route of the Outer M25. Everything else, housing, new rails, airport positioning depends on this. Strategic planning for the next 50 years, something useful the politicians have a duty to achieve.
