Yup, couldn't agree more, and I understand that many folks won't like the idea. But you know what the WKLB lay-by is like - it can be completely empty and then completely full, and I've seen some pretty hairy manoeuvres there as people try to reverse into a space, or shoot out onto the opposite side of the road. One thing's for sure, it's going to get worse, and I'd rather see some thought given now to a small (even half the size of the Silbury car-park) sensitively laid out little area than something big and 'orrible with spaces for coaches and Mr Whippy vans - yuck!

New things don't all have to be bad. The new bridge over the Kennet at WKLB is a lovely little thing and someone somewhere had the foresight to suggest it and see it through to completion.
