I REFER to the interview of Steven Broomhead regarding the imminent opening of the post-Brexit holding centre at Appleton Thorn and the traffic congestion it could cause with HGVs waiting to be processed.

Mr Broomhead stated there was no consultation with WBC and asked the Government to spend £2.5million improving the roads to avoid gridlock.

Isn’t this what WBC have been doing the past 20 years?

Mr Broomhead causing congestion in the town by stupid traffic management schemes and mass building of factories and homes.

Your remarks are a bit hypocritical don’t you think professor?
