Sick of humps and chicanes
10:37am Friday 16th November 2007
Insanity rules!
What in the name of anything sensible are the citizens of this town, that has pretensions to be a city, to make of all the road improvements that are going on around the Adelphi.
Is it to promote cycling for the students who are mostly within walking distance of the so-called university anyway, or is it simply vanity on the council's part to make Preston a pale version of Oxford.
If the former it would surprise me to see a student on a bike and if the latter then I suggest a council visit to Oxford, but not I hasten to add at the ratepayers expense.
A citizen motorist taxpayer, who is sick to the back teeth of all the humps, bumps and chicanes.

My favourite and outright winner of the coveted Planning death Trap Award - traffic lanes that cause motorists to swap and change because they cannot see wich lane they are supposed to be in or at the junction of Wigan Road and Heald House Road / Dawson Lane where motorists sit side by side waiting for the lights to change and race across the junction into just one lane. it is leyland own "Chicken Run" and site of many close encounters and possible future death crashes.
R Jones of Ashton is right and I fear this insanity is now country wide. Please before you kill someone, stop meddling and stick to filling in potsholes.

I hadn't had fish and chips for ages so when I saw it on the menu at the Euxton Mills pub I jumped at it straight away for a midweek lunch, knowing I'd be working late.
