Thanks been down there twice the last few days and struggled to see the point of the lights but your so right it would be easy to shift the cone and lights if not currently working on site.

I arrived in Stafford in late 1974.

The endless digging up of Radford Bank was already a running joke by that time.

As well as 10 months of roadworks starting today at the Redhill Business Park /A34 junction, I've spotted 3 weeks of roadworks due to start next week at Holmcroft Road/A34 traffic light crossroads. This is presumably to change the lights to LED versions which should, in theory, be an afternoon's work.

Just as I presumed. 4-way traffic lights at this junction causing ample queues this morning.

You'd have thought they would have made Alliance Street 4 lanes by now to accommodate the traffic demands wouldn't you?
if they took the footpaths up there’d be more than enough room for4 lanes. It would stop the kids playing football in the street too.

Ordinarily I wouldn’t have thought this possible but today (Saturday pm) I got caught in a traffic jam on B&Q’s car park for around 90 minutes trying to get out.

Wow, what time was this?
We had our routine COVID test & left Kingston Centre at about 2pm then parked up in Aldi car park. It didn’t seem very busy although there was a queue to get into Aldi (& maccies drive through). We went into town first for about 40 minutes before going shopping at Aldi (it was a lot quieter by then, we didn’t even queue at the checkout). We then drove to Tesco for a bit of shopping. We left town at about 4ish & I actually commented about how quiet both the town centre & the traffic was.

Heard from a mate earlier, apparently “some traffic lights” were stuck on red somewhere up that way. He didn’t have any more details, he heard from someone who’d been stuck that way.
