Sir – As The Oxford Times is not one of those publications which is fixated about failings in schools, hospitals, and public services, and gives due credit to positive achievements, I hope that somewhere space will be found to celebrate a remarkable engineering feat, namely, the reconstruction of the A34 flyover at the Pear Tree intersection, where the flow of traffic has essentially been maintained on one of the busiest roads in Britain, while carrying out a highly technical piece of engineering, with minimum fuss, on time and within its budget.

We motorists take this lack of disruption for granted, but only a few years ago, it would have reduced the county’s whole road system to gridlock.
