Westbury is already partially surrounded, on two sides, by railway tracks.

An eastern bypass would have spoiled fresh land and left the town encircled.

W(C)C's eastern bypass was routed a long way around to the industrial estates.

From the Northacre trading estate, south towards the A36, the journey distance via the eastern A350 bypass to Madbrook could have been doubled.   The severe HGV congestion on the A350 at Yarnbrook would have been made much worse.

Yet interconnection with Westbury Station, where both the London to Plymouth and Cardiff to Southampton main rail lines intersect, where a road-rail freight interchange is to be, is short-sightedly ignored by our Wiltshire councillors.

We see for ourselves that there are various comparatively new existing roads around Westbury, that have been built to a full highway standard, which do not go through residential areas, that could fairly readily be linked-up to effectively make low-cost relief roads for Westbury and also Yarnbrook and West Ashton. These are usable roads which are existing or are being constructed anyway.
Why take yet more fresh land?    Do you have any thoughts in this regard?
