The "repairs" are ludicrous, most look as if some tarmac has been tipped in then trodden down. Even the better looking repairs have no overbanding so they fall apart in a matter of days. Roman Road though not having so many potholes as some places is like a suspension test site. Actually most roads are like that. They don't need patching - they need resurfacing - and its never going to happen.

Nick Clegg. Nick bloody Clegg. Says it all really doesn't it..............

Yesterday at 3.30 both Edgar St lanes off the roundabout were stationary resulting in the first lane at top of Victoria St being solid, resulting in a queue of traffic backing around Steels and into Whitecross rd. As Max Boyce said: "I know - because I was there". After finally managing to get on to Blueschool St I turned th corner into Commercial Rd to traffic backed up to the lights. Three light changes later saw me across the lights at the Merton. Things improved now as it only took two changes of lights to see me turning left on to the new road to witness `a grand total of six cars waiting to exit. The duel/test of nerves/size of cahones to travel straight on at the bottom of Commercial Road gets worse - an utter nightmare free for all. Coming out of Morrisons car park in the dark to turn right I was met by traffic exiting the station coming straight for me. Do both exit at the same time or are there no lights at station exit?

Thank you bobby47 for clearing that one up. For the life of me I couldn't understand why I was unable to devise a viable solution to the Irish border issue and now it is is suddenly obvious - it is because I am stupid.

Yes something has changed - she's not there anymore!

Does anyone know why the lady who had a fruit and veg stall in Hightown has left? I visited last week to find a poor replacement instead - fraction of the range and noticeably more expensive. Anyone know where she went to?

Came into town this morning, it looks close to being finished. My pet gripe about two lanes in Commercial Rd merging into one has obviously had some effect. Just to be bloody-minded they have done exactly the same in the opposite direction. Now two lanes of ahead traffic "merge" (jostle, bully, collide - you choose) into one after the lights. Oh - such fun will be had!

There is no right turn there according to the map ....?

I was told by Balfour Beatty early 2018 is likely opening. What hacks me off is the two lanes merging into one at the bottom of Commercial Rd. Do I be a considerate driver and queue patiently in the left hand lane, or zoom down to the lights in the right hand lane and force myself into the single straight ahead lane, judging the speed and attitude of those in the correct lane, with an increasing level of butt-clenching as i play real-world dodgems...... When I asked Balfour Beatty whether there was to be any advance warning signs to drivers advising them of the impending doom ahead, I was told that they "expected the reduced traffic flow through there would alleviate the problem when the new system was in place". Hmmmmmm

Any connection? http://www.herefordtimes.com/news/15452691.Police_called_following_incident_at_High_Town_bull/?c=eed7dr

OK - I will leave this where it is and let others decide the validity of our respective positions.

Funny you TWICE removed my comment on the subways in Poland thread because you didnt want it "politicised" ...... "I am not making this political, all these remarks will be removed, please join in the debate with sensible comments or refrain altogether."

Colin - I find it amazing that you allow this comment to stand? Do you really think it acceptable? If you do - it speaks volumes.

Bobby47 - I would like to buy you several drinks Sir!
