Your report in the Malvern Gazette & Ledbury Reporter (October 26) regarding Worcestershire County Council's plan to open a new M50 motorway access point appears to raise more problems than it solves.
Access would be via extra driving miles through narrow country lanes. One often meets cattle and sheep on these roads and there are numerous blind bends. In this day and age of rush, rush, rush it's inevitable that tragedy would result.
The correct answer to the flooding problems at Upton is to raise the road.
If there is the money, why not use it to raise the road between Upton and Hanley Castle which floods more often. Then at least traffic can flow normally and the children can get to Hanley Castle School by foot and bike as they normally would without recourse to significant detours and delays.
