I hear what you are saying MrG, driving to BRS is not too dissimilar to going to CWL, only difference being fewer roundabouts and fewer sheep LOL
The decision on the airport link road being delayed is very frustrating. Whichever route they eventually go for will come up with opposition from people who will be living near it. Yes they should have done it years ago but they didn't have the foresight or didn't think it was worth it.
As for BRS with being squeezed at front of house, well the airport there will have to think of something.
