Title: Infirmary Rd traffic calming. Another waste of tax payers money.
Post by: Fly on September 15, 2013, 09:18:57 AM

It's a dead end for god sake.
Full of hormonal teenagers who think they have the god given right to saunter all over the roads at their leisure.
I feel like running the little ba* over every time I drive down there.
Speed humps  ::)  Hope they knacker the chav's lowered Clio's sump pans  :))

Good point loopy - I just went on Google Maps and travelled the length of Infirmary Road and there was no crossing.

Don't know why the council said that.

Somebody got the wrong road? Do they mean Brewery Street?

Plans for Infirmary Road were drawn up after records showed there were 12 collisions in which people were injured – six involving a pedestrian

That's one careless pedestrian.

Is a mini roundabout at the junction of Infirmary Road, Wharf Lane and Canal Wharf included in these proposals? Someone was claiming credit for it in the run up to the local elections though I can't see any benefit.
