as they attempted to span the Fairham Brook. With the Brook being all of 15 feet across \u2013 and with it being something that, as kids, we used to cross using planks \u2013 it doesn\u2019t fill you with much confidence.<\/p>\nWell, there was yet more chaos on the roads today. I also saw a story on the local news tonight which tells how a concrete girder for a bridge has snapped as they attempted to span the Fairham Brook.

Furthermore, out on a lesson tonight I noticed that they were just setting up \u201c4-way control\u201d temporary lights at the 5-ways junction on Coventry Lane at Balloon Wood. Unless that was just overnight \u2013 and it looked like serious business with the number of people there \u2013 it looks like the chaos is going to be backed up to that side of the City.<\/p>\n
Oh, yes. And this morning as I travelled towards the City from Wilford Hill along the A60 I was relieved to see that the temporary lights at Boundary Road had gone. My joy was short-lived, though. Because they\u2019ve just moved about 200 metres along the road to the fire station. It would appear that Rushcliffe Borough Council is waging all-out war in its quest for the perfect junction for pedestrians. It\u2019s hard to believe that so many motorists can be inconvenienced for such long periods merely to put down fresh tactile paving and dropped kerbs.<\/p>\n
What makes it even funnier is that the latest location involves the most underused road imaginable. I think it is even a cul-de-sac. (Edit:<\/strong> They have installed a pedestrian crossing outside the fire station).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, there was yet more chaos on the roads today.
