There is a word that rhymes with “banker”. It describes completely those people who allegedly “work” for the County Council and Rushcliffe Borough 
Council.
Tonight I was wending my way along a route designed to take me as far away from Wilford Lane (and the tram closure there) as possible in order to go home. I’d successfully gone from Woodborough to Edwalton, heading towards Keyworth, when guess what? The berks had cut the A606 near to the Wheatcroft Garden Centre down to a single lane. It looks for all the world that they’re farting about putting a new pedestrian dropped kerb!
I’ve said it before, but it is a deliberate policy to cause as much disruption to motorists as possible. It can’t possibly be anything else. It’s just one major blockage after another, and Nottingham is becoming an absolute pit to live and work in.
I also noticed today that they (City Council, I think) are replacing the street lighting along Swansdowne Drive in Clifton – the only route remaining between the Varney Road shops and the Ruddington side. There are yellow barriers around every street light, and there’s no way traffic is going to be able to get by while they’re pulling out lamp posts and putting new ones in.
