  1. Another RTC on the Widemarsh Street - Link Road traffic lights this afternoon with a car with Children in ending

    up on its side.I can see a death happening here unless something is done.Removal of traffic lights and the installation of a roundabout with 20mph all the way down Widemarsh Street & Link Road would be a start.0

  2. If you travel just a little further out of the City you can find some stunning Countryside with spectacular views.
    Two of our families favorite places to visit are in the Brecon Beacons national park.
    Llyn y Fan Fach & Fawr in the Black Mountains & the four falls walk ,Ystradfelte.

  3. As long as there is a min age and you have to hold a provisional licence or higher that can be given penalty points I don't see a problem.
    One problem I can see is that someone will start copying legal scooters to make them look exactly like the hire ones.

    Having waited for a ridiculous time on my bike at the equally ridiculous Link Rd/Commercial Rd lights this morning, I was reminded that there's no reason why traffic lights could not have been turned off/resequenced throughout the City - last year's lockdown would have been the perfect time to do it and give people time to get used to it. But, yet again, the Council seem to be paralysed in the headlights, unable to do anything. Cllr Harrington really needs to do something, anything, and now.

    Traffic lights on the Blackfriars street junction go to red when nobody is either crossing the road of in a vehicle waiting to get out.
    I have reported this fault for the last 6 months yet nothing is done.
    I was at the lights on the Newmarket roundabout today going down Edgar Street.Lights on red,nothing coming and waited 1 min for them to change.Down to the next set by Blackfriars Street,again on red,one car comes out of Blackfriars Street then pedestrian crossing light goes to green but nobody crossing the road.Result..Traffic backing up on Newtown Road roundabout.
     

  5. After walking down and watching the traffic piling up all the way from Steels down to the Newtown Road/Holmer Road,the removal of the traffic lights down Edgar Street has to be a top priority.Traffic is needlessly being stopped by the totally pointless lights at the Edgar Sterrt/Blackfriars Street jtn leading to traffic backing up then slowing down to let vehicles in from the merging lanes.It then piles up on the Newtown Road roundabout then backs up even more when vehicles wait to turn right into Mortimer Road.
    Newtown Road over the rail bridge also needs to be widened to make two lanes.

  6. Really dismayed and not for the first time today at the lack of Police response to a crime being commited.
    I was one of quite a few people that witnessed two youths spraying a large  graffiti tag on a wall in Mortimer Road.
    Called police whilst they were still spraying the wall and kept sight of them for over 20 mins with no police to be seen.
    Just seems to be a pointless excersise ringing them & feels like I'm wasting my time.
