THE Press headline “MP calls for huge road upgrade” (March 1), sums up York traffic problem succinctly.

The MP, Julian Sturdy, has told the House of Commons that more investment is required in the city’s outer ring road and the A64.

This is long overdue and anything that relieves congestion in and around York has got to be a good thing.

Part of this restructure must include public transport. It has been estimated that one bus can take 35 cars off our roads. That is an immediate decrease in pollution for our city.
