I TRAVEL to work from Knaresborough to York daily and have noticed how the congestion is getting worse every journey, especially with all the road works.

The other day it took me an hour to get out of York, when my journey home normally takes me 30 minutes.

I notice gas works are being carried out in Boroughbridge Road for six weeks.

Who on earth decided to let these road works go ahead with one of the biggest racing calendars in York coming up? Thousands are expected to attend The Ebor Festival each day.

The council goes on about pollution from cars, but surely it is making things worse by York being gridlocked most days.
