WE all need the various piped services that are beneath our roads and accept that from time to time access to the pipes, requiring road closures, extra traffic lights etc, will be necessary.
What infuriates is the absence of anyone actually working in the barricaded sections.
RELATED NEWS:
- Parking to be banned in this Hereford street for more than five months
- Delays expected for weeks due to roadworks at busy Hereford junction
- Hereford street closed after sinkhole appears
For more than a week now a large section of St Owen’s Street in Hereford has had traffic queues (controlled by the slowest ever three-way traffic lights), reaching at times the entire way from St Peter’s Square to the Ledbury Road, mostly with engines running (pollution? effect on cyclists in the queue?).
Unbearable in the heat for everyone, which is perhaps why no one was working there.
OTHER LETTERS:
- Time to scrap television licence fee
- Herefordshire Council deserves Old Market office space
- I live in fear while on Hereford hospital waiting list
Stopped there yet again, I could clearly see the the closed-off road surface was smooth, without holes.
If whatever work was done there is complete, why are the barricades still there?
