If they're happy for Rowley Street and Fancy Walk to be two-way, then I doubt that any other niceties will get much consideration.

I would happily avoid the place altogether, if they hadn't buggered up Beaconside...





It'll be fun when the motorway's stuffed.

Beaconside is walking pace westbound towards Redhill between approximately 16:00 - 18:30 as people try to avoid greyfriers. It would be quicker just to go via greyfriers.

The other morning I was wishing I'd have gone back down to J13 after dropping hubby off at Astonfields, instead of Beaconside to J14.

Sat queuing for ages on Beaconside because of massive queues waiting at the 3 way lights by the new estate, but hardly anything coming out of the new estate. Those travelling the other way were even queuing the other side of Redhill island and up the stone road to get onto Beaconside .

Enjoying a drop of red.

Sounds about right. The North of town is a no go zone at the moment what with Beaconside and the work on Lloyds roundabout.

Though I have heard that if you use Alliance Street as a cut-through, it can speed things up enormously.

Since the road closure switched (on Monday) from Eccleshall Road to Stone Road, the traffic flow has improved noticeably. No doubt, those going via alternative routes (Beaconside, Doxey/Seighford) are helping to keep the numbers down to a manageable level as well.
