Lancaster traffic last night

[Christies Child]

The very same County Council who refuse even to consider roundabouts as an alternative.

TESCO's in Carnforth is a classic case of where a roundabout would have been better than traffic lights.

A second one would be outside the new campus of Lanc Uni on the A6...

I would suggest poor standards of driving as well as the increasing amount of car users on the roads. The roads were bad on Thursday evening as well and at one stage, car users were stuck for about 30minutes.

Our street in Lancaster was virtually impassable for most of last week and is icy again this morning so it was good to see the council gritting the car park outside Currys last night. Nice to see they have got their priorities right

Obviously, you could live on Bowerham or Caton Road and reply to totally blow this out of the water...

...but if, as I suspect, you live on a relatively quiet residential street, then I would say the council have their priorities exactly right. Presuming they are responsible for that car park, which would see the most traffic yesterday? Which would most likely result in a pedestrian being hit if a car skidded out of control? Which would result in a legal claim if a pedestrian slipped? If the grit used in the car park was used elsewhere, how many streets would it do? One? Two at the most?

So the council used a resource that would have kept one or two small residential roads clear on a thoroughfare that thousands of people will have used. Priorities spot on I'd have thought.

Residential Street or not i cant see why a private car park would take priority.

Dont know how many accidents there have been outside Currys but on our street we have had one pensioner who needed hospital treatment after slipping, at least 2 traffic accidents caused by the snow and ice, numerous delivery vans stuck and overflowing bins and recycling boxes beacause the bin men have not risked coming down here for over 2 weeks
