Julian Sturdy has just launched a petition on the 10 Downing Street website for the dualling of a desperately needed ring road in York, only the local paper omitted to included the link where they could sign up! How frustrating!

The York Press did not understand that the whole story was based around this one link, and getting local people to support it.

This ring road is a hot issue for traders and commuters in the York area, I hope they will support Julian’s petition, and that there is a listening government on hand to respond.

This is an issue which affects the everyday lives of businesses and commuters who suffer stress and constant misery caused by this congestion. What a terrible way to start the day. Julian says:

“The congestion level at the moment is starting to have a real impact on the local economy and our quality of life, and this will only increase.

“The local authority and the Government should be working together to plan for the long-term future of our city and that plan has to include the upgrade of the ring road to a dual carriageway.”

Please sign the petition here if you wish to support the petition.
