Wouldn't 200 miles west of Stafford put you right in the sea?Only if you fancy relocating about 200 miles westwards...
OK, so it's actually 228 miles....
It is remarkably close to the same latitude - the Greyhound at Yarlet is as far from the Equator as I am here.To be fair you did say "about 200 miles"...
Hubby drove that way just after 4pm-ish and said the traffic at the Baswich Lane roadworks at that time "Was acceptable" Hoping you are right about them only being there 11-12th!Sarchasm
It was obviously not clever to block up the unofficial diversion route. Saying that, you don't tend to see "Diversion" signs in Stafford, these traffic jams and closures are totally normalised now. Perhaps there's a sign in Cannock saying "Stafford - Closed".
But yeah, lunchtime traffic isn't that heavy, if they aren't done by 5.30 then Baswich Lane isn't going to be very good. Thankfully I felt well enough to cycle back into work at lunchtime, although I'm pretty sure it's all these roadworks making me ill.
Roadworks.org says 11-12th for these works.
Are the roadworks still down by Aldi tonight?
I don't think I'll bother going to Stafford this week.
I shall alert the media
Someone needs to be alerted because all these roadworks are stopping people from outside of the town visiting and spending their cash in the few remaining shops.
