In my post Wasting our Countryside I reported that plans were afoot to turn the silo at the where the road between Oxford and Kidlington crosses the A34 (by the Water Eaton Park and Ride) into a waste recycling plant. You never get something for nothing in this life, and a Malcolm Baker of Long Hanborough has pointed to the increase in the number of lorries coming and going from that junction could rise by 372 per day. If that is the case that means almost one per minute, over say an 8 hour day. That figure is staggering and would turn the junction into a complete nightmare blockage of an already over-stressed part of Oxford's clogged up road system.
(Malcolm, if you are reading this blog then please can you verify the number of lorries etc.)
