SIR,

How much longer do we have to suffer with three-mile tailbacks for hours on the A40 when there is an accident or yet more roadworks?

How much longer will there be prime time congestion through Monmouth with traffic lights and a road system that cannot cope?

We know that any thought of road builds or improvements at a time of austerity is not easy, but these hold ups must be costing many businesses loss of revenue and bringing stress to far too many people.

Think outside the box public servants and get something done.
