WHY ? - Paul Robinson (22nd Jun 2025 - 10:07:16) Can anyone explain why it was necessary to install three way traffic lights at the junction of Tower Road and London Road. Half London Road has been fenced and coned off since Friday causing traffic to be backed up from the square going out of the village. The consequent tailback coming up the London Road has been tailing back down the slip road and onto the A 3! But here's the rub . . . not a stroke of work has been done since the lights went up! Is it me? Paul Robinson

Re: WHY ? - D (22nd Jun 2025 - 15:00:43) Paul, have you ever worked outside in the temperatures we've had over the past few days? I have and it's no joke. All very well for these air conditioned desk jockeys to moan.

Re: WHY ? - Jon76 (22nd Jun 2025 - 15:45:51) Having walked pass the area, there is indeed a small hole/void with adjacent tarmac also cracking. It is right next to a flowing foul/storm manhole, so probably best the road has the subsequent traffic lights, to avoid an HGV causing an additional sinkhole to form and the chaos from the road being closed for weeks.
