Sir - This page contains regular moans about the traffic situation.

The problem is that for almost 20 hours each day levels of traffic are unremarkable in comparison with other similar areas of the country.

Consequently bids for millions of pounds of taxpayer money just for Worcester are unlikely to cut much ice.

Perhaps the Worcester News in partnership with local major employers could form a panel and offer a prize for the best detailed and realistic proposals put forward to relieve times of worst congestion.

For example, how to ensure that public transport operators offer a reliable and comfortable service would be a good start.

Secondly, the situation is always much worse during school term time, what could be done about this to make a difference?
