Further to the last post about Nottingham\u2019s road works, driving through Keyworth today to and from lessons I encountered two sets of temporary lights.<\/p>\n
One set was on Bunny Lane, and was due to the housing development they\u2019re building on green belt. The lights didn\u2019t really need to be there – but without them, of course, there\u2019d be no hold up for traffic, and that wouldn\u2019t satisfy either the Council or the builders.<\/p>\n
Another set \u2013 this time, three-way, which means longer delays \u2013 was on Normanton Lane at the junction with Nicker Hill (access to Nicker Hill from that side is blocked). Only a month or two ago, Normanton Lane was closed for a week for some sort of road works, the results of which seemed to be some new kerbstones under the railway bridge. Three-way lights mean that it is effectively half-closed. This is yet more utilities work.<\/p>\n
I use Keyworth as a way to and from areas in the south of the city \u2013 a way of avoiding the Tramicide instigated by those halfwits at Nottingham City Council (NCC). So now \u2013 in addition to all that listed in the previous story \u2013 they have sanctioned this. And don\u2019t forget that it\u2019s only the incidents I have encountered \u2013 there will be loads more for other motorists to have to endure.<\/p>\n
NCC doesn\u2019t have a clue. It appears to be more and more criminally incompetent with every set of road works that appears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
