I recommend that sceptics read the Formal Inquiry document which states clearly that the opening of the bypass should have reduced the ' through traffic ' to less than 10%.

It has remained constant at approx. 40% and is actually going faster, mainly as a result of some of our neighbouring Villagers using the route as a ' rat run ' to and from Pershore.

The consultant had no choice but to protect the narrow main street, in a conservation area with listed buildings and ancient monuments.

The extra journey time is a maximum of 65 seconds, not MINUTES; let's stop the questions, come and enjoy Wyre Piddle and Upper Moor in peace and tranquillity and remember the bridge is open to all you keen cyclists and walkers.
