Distributor road "would be madness"

Traffic campaigner Michael Borrill writes to us with the following point:-
"Once again, due to a serious accident on the A17, the people of Boston had to live with traffic chaos on the A52 and A1121 culminating in gridlock on both these roads and a nightmare in the vicinity of Chain Bridge and the Tesco roundabouts.
"This brings to light the sheer madness in even thinking about putting a distributor road to enter the Tesco section from Wyberton (the rejuvenated Southern Link Road.)
"Yes, both Lincolnshire County Council and fully supported by Richard Austin and his team at Boston Borough Council are seriously considering this option with the hope that backed by Section 102 monies from a developer, this will be the first part of a distributor road.
"An outer distributor road it cannot be, local yes, but that is not what is required ... as evidence was amply provided after the accident - and, indeed, most days."
