How was it?
they didn't even make an attempt to close it off as far as I could tell, not even any cones. Admittedly the cones seem to do nothing as they get moved but they've even given up on that now.
should just stick a van there with a mobile camera. I'm sure after a few games of getting penalty charge notices for driving on the wrong side of the road people would think twice.
if they aren't going to do anything just open it up, make a plan for how to deal with the volume of pedestrians and make sure people know there will be traffic using the road.
The issue is exactly that, they stop traffic on one side but then people just drive on the wrong side of the road.I left half hour after the end and the one side was still not moving and cones in place!
Hmm. Committing a driving offence then.The issue is exactly that, they stop traffic on one side but then people just drive on the wrong side of the road.
I left the ground bang on the final whistle as had to get to the SkyDome for a 6pm start. The lane cars should be using to come out of Burbages Lane and turn left was coned off as usual but the other side of the road (ie: the side of the road for cars turning from Winding House onto Burabages) was not coned off and as usual cars were forcing their way through the pedestians, then speeding off up Winding House towards Wheelwright.
There's no way to turn right from Burbages onto Winding House even when there are no restrictions in place let alone when there are. It's a no right turn junction so there should be zero traffic at any time coming out of Burbages onto Winding House.
What’s the truth guys?
Unrecorded then just like driving everywhere and everyday in this country!Hmm. Committing a driving offence then.
Is this the type of PR Fraser's would expect, like those odd articles in the telegraph from concerned residents on Hen Lane?It’s scandalous that the residents on Burbages Lane are not allowed to leave their homes, just because there is a football match on.
It was around a year ago tbf followed by a weird article about that candy floss stadium plan of ours following the Spurs match,both articles seemed strange, can't remember if that was placed in one of the nationals!I’ve no idea. I think you must be the only one left that reads the Coventry (evening) Telegraph.
So the safety improvement is making things more dangerous then?The issue is exactly that, they stop traffic on one side but then people just drive on the wrong side of the road.

If I lived there, I would be one of the disadvantaged 0.1%. Guaranteed.Well 99.9% of them can.

If you mean the original closing of the road then that has defiantly made things safer in general.So the safety improvement is making things more dangerous then?
Is it the gypsy camp they're using for car parking? You can't get to Cov Welsh from that end can you and the roads too narrow to be street parking, not to mention it would be in the no parking zone.In which case you are on the gypsy camp or are you are buying the massive house with the car forecourt.

With this particular issue it's 100% down to drivers deciding they are much more important than everyone else's safety and are entitled to drive on the wrong side of the road to make an illegal right turn.
Since it's been flagged as a problem precisely nothing seems to have been done to change it apart from put a couple of cones out one game that were immediately moved.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there can't be many houses on Burbages Lane that can't drive up to Wheelright Lane.It’s scandalous that the residents on Burbages Lane are not allowed to leave their homes, just because there is a football match on.

At a guess it will be the stadium management team as it's the same traffic plan for all events but the actual road closure part will have to be the council. And I would bet they charge a fair amount of money for doing it.Who looks after the road closures?
Or maybe get someone sent out to ensure they have the right permits, insurance etc.the gypsys are charging people to park on the car park of the old social club.
So it needs policing then.If you mean the original closing of the road then that has defiantly made things safer in general.

Twats. Need some officious jobsworths there.A couple of matches ago I asked the traffic staff standing around by the traffic lights why cars weren’t being stopped for using the wrong lane cutting across pedestrians and turning right. They said they had not been told to block off that lane.
Have they listened then?Perfect. Two trucks blocking both exits, car free up to car park 1.
