Kerry Neill suggests another road is needed for residents to drive from Kelso to the centre of Bathurst.
It is difficult to justify the expense for such a project. I believe the uneven footpaths are a bigger priority than another road into Bathurst.
I feel fortunate to live in Raglan, not only for the peace and quiet and the large house blocks, but because the trip to town is fast with no traffic congestion.
I travel regularly to the western side of Bathurst during morning peak times in 15 minutes or less.
I have witnessed the traffic coming from Kelso over the low level bridge, but really it is not catastrophic having to wait at the traffic lights for a few minutes.
