  Saw a British Gas van unloading barriers on an untouched stretch of the London Road a short time ago. Another chicane!!

  Yes afraid so and both lots of work will be happening at the same time,I complained about the speed of work on the River Dour Path along Buckland Ave,Frith Road areas,but they were speed kings compared to the lazy lot up London Road.
  
  Saw 6 there the other day,4 were talking to each other,1 on his mobile and one having a fag,came back 1 hour later they hadnt moved! This work should have taken 16 weeks from April,the hold up well someone didnt do all the legal work.On Frith Road the temporary traffic lights a few weeks ago was because someone hadnt ordered the Electricity. Unbelievable!
  If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

  Having tried the new style crossing lights by Morrisons I think they are awful and certainly no improvement.
  
  There is no audible sound to tell you when to cross and if there are others there you can not see the green man it is so low, that is when it is working. I now have to watch the traffic see if it stops and then cross and hope I am right to do so, luckily I know the lights sequence.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
