Sir – The A415 is the major trade route between Abingdon and Witney. All vehicles which are legal and have paid all of their taxes should be able to use all roads.
At the moment, there is a weight restriction at Newbridge because of the state of the bridge, so we are told.
A new bridge is proposed to be built to be able to open up the road to all traffic (will it be built in our lifetime?).
If someone buys a property next to an A-road, they must expect traffic to use the road. If they do not want lorries going lawfully about their business and going past their houses, why did they buy a house on an A-road?
J Sewell, Witney
