What Stafford Really Needs Is More Roadworks

Come on, we all secretly think it. Driving around Stafford is so stress, hassle and traffic jam free that what we need is some more roadworks to break the blissful monotony of delay free travel. Ideally this would be on yet another major way in and out of the town.

So praise be to Staffordshire County Council Highways Department for this little gem to brighten our days with.

Delightful news.

Cheers guys, our taxes are obviously well spent on your meagre salaries.

"Staffordshire County Council is warning residents that ‘some minor traffic delays may occur’ as a result of the closure".
I guess they mean less than an hour or two :hmm: Whenever I use western road its usually stop go anyway and why are they buggering up the junction to stop speeders ? St Thomas Street is only a short stretch, does everybody around there drive Lamborghini's. ;)

Cull Avenue is going to be a nightmare - there's a lot of traffic down there in both directions at the best of times, so with this it'll be worse especially with parked cars down one side

The water people will be starting down Radford Bank soon, that'll be fun.

They're digging up the pavement at the side of the Staffordshire University site too, I guess they're widening the pavement?

The pavements along the Castletown bit of the Doxey road have been marked up in the last couple of days. Looks like a map of the London underground.

I have been peripherally involved in an eight-year-long argument with Severn Trent about a broken sewer, probably broken by the Highways Agency, I think - they have finally admitted that it is their problem and they have said that they will fix it.

It will require a hole in the middle of Wolverhampton Road.

I do believe that they have been dragging it in the hope of being "unable" to do it due to the amount of other disruption going on at the moment - and for the foreseeable future..

They really ought to do those repairs now. Disruption would be minimal and the continuity element of having every major road in and out of town with roadworks and/or temp lights would appeal to my sense of order.
