QUESTION: When does the York northern ring road become the road to Damascus? Answer: When the Conservatives are trying to secure headlines (Trade is choked by traffic policy, readers' letters, September 25).
It was a Conservative county council that built the current ring road to a specification which did not meet the demands on the road even in the 1980s. It was a Conservative Government that cut the plans to improve the road.
Now the Conservatives are wanting to jump on the bandwagon. I hope for their sake they are not caught up in a bandwagon jam on that road.
Coun Richard Watson, York Road, Haxby, York.
