GIVE us back our slip road.

The highways engineers have recently completed major alterations on the A64 at the junction with the road to Flaxton, Strensall and Sheriff Hutton.

I will agree the junction looks neat and tidy but a major mistake has been made in removing the slip road when exiting from Flaxton turning left on to A64 towards Scarborough.

I use this turning frequently and recently was carrying out this manoeuvre while another vehicle to my right side was turning right on to A64 towards York and was completely blocking my view.

My point is that when the slip road was there you could stop if necessary at the start of the slip road and through your rear view mirrors see when suitable break in the traffic appears allowing you to build your speed up in the slip road enabling you to merge with the traffic safely.

I hope I am wrong but as it is at present here is an accident waiting to happen.
