I notice a whole load of the only mature trees near that monstrous new housing estate opposite parkside have been destroyed. Apparantly it's to make the road a dual carriageway. They were beautiful trees as well :(

The car drivers are already moaning about the disruption the road works that the new road lanes will require. Couldn't make it up - the Hypocrites.

The trees down the side of Sainsburys / the back of the GEC site have been felled too, think a mobile unit might also have been taken down ?

Almost realistic an all.

There's been some 'pruning' up at Junc 14, or Conker Island as my youngest once called it.

Once J13-16 is done, it will be 'smart' motorway all the wast from J2 up to J19. That's a long way.

Can't wait for the smart motorway. It means I'll be able to drive all the way at 69-5mph in lane 1 while everyone else is doing 59 in lanes 2 & 3.

Or alternatively plough into a car at speed, broken down on the carriageway where there is no hard shoulder.

That's one of my biggest worries when I go from Stafford to Birmingham. No hard shoulder and I'll hit someone broken down cos of no hard shoulder.
