Are Cov Council complete imbeciles?

Blue Ribbon roadworks - Backed up to Tesco
Lockhurst lane Bridge Roadworks - Backed up to A444
Burnaby Road Roadworks - Backed up to Lockhurst lane.

It's absolutely impossible to get from the arena to the city centre without hitting roadworks. The idiot that signed this off needs sacking.

And Proffitt Avenue when I went up that way this morning. It's like the City council are trying to cause gridlock.

See, I think this is the main reason for the post-game road closures. It’d be absolute carnage.

There's never ever any thought about it when they do it.

Said the same last year when they randomly kept closing lanes on Lojngford Road on matchdays for roadworks that took half a day of work but traffic for 5 days.

It's pretty standard stuff, all roadworks get bottlenecked into the school summer holidays when there's reduced peak time traffic. This especially goes for major arteries in and out of the city, where carrying out works during term time would result in absolute carnage. Any delays at the moment would be 10x worse outside of the summer holidays, and like it or not infrastructure repairs and upgrades have to be carried out at some point.

Sure I saw a sign saying they’re going until next summer.

I get that, but not on every access option from that direction at once. It's stupid and there's no release.

Warwick and Leamington is a fucking nightmare. Constant temporary traffic lights all over the place.

This is my thoughts tho they have gone onto overdrive. It seems like a lot of the utilities are on it as well. Severn Trent are doing bits all over and national grid (Holbrooks Ln/Lovkhusrst Ln) they are also doing stuff down King field Rd.

I think a little of it centres around when they can get permits for streetworks. Doing it in the holidays will obviously cause less disruption, they also have a decent amount of time to get larger jobs finished!

It's now almost faster for me to cycle the 4 miles in to work than driving!

I work from home but have to go to the office once a week so not so bad going out to Southam but if I left at my normal time pre-roadworks I’d be guaranteed to be late. Annoying how long they seem to last.
