Mike Borrill points out that our comment on "Landing Boston in a mess" should read: "No one will be able to get into Boston soon because of the mess!"
He writes to say: "I have said time and time again that before our 'leaders' mess any more with the layout of the town, a better infrastructure with the roads should be put in place. It does not require a university degree to understand this but sheer commonsense.
"The decision to move the High School to the Grammar school site, leaving the financial situation aside, is madness once again.
"They are to move nearly twice as many pupils (give or take a few hundred) to a central part of our clogged up road network.
"Many more buses will have to drop and pick up at this new school together with all the extra cars involved."
Add into this equation that John Adams Way will have an increase of traffic (a total both ways) by 2015 of 10.1% from the 2005 Census figures and you can see why I am angry.
"Let us bring some sanity back to Boston, it deserves it."
We cannot help but share Mike's anger.
Factor in some of the other plans we mentioned - a minimum of 60 new starter homes in the Broadfield Lane area (and by the sound of it the likelihood of at least twice that) which is at the very heart of Boston's congestion problem; a major redevelopment of Boston College and the Merchants Quay project - which as well as all the shops promises 100 "city style apartments" and parking for 700 cars, and the scene is set for traffic chaos of catastrophic proportions.
