THERE may yet be hope for RBH staff.

After initially suggesting not much could be done about chronic congestion on Castle Lane, council leaders have now agreed a plan with hospital bosses for a new Wessex Way slip, something that should have been included when RBH was built.

Simple, except for the planning and finance.

The money shouldn’t be a problem. The Dorset LEP is awash with it. And highway planners, who spend too much time meddling where it’s not wanted, can surely come up with a quick sketch to get it all done as part of the A338 rebuild this year.

Easy.
