It was only last week that I was suggesting that the roadworks in Macclesfield weren't as bad as Barlow was making out.
Today the gas renewals programme will be moving to Chester Road in Broken Cross and will be operating traffic control for the next couple of months. This is going to cause serious issues with traffic as we know from experience that blocking up Chester Road can have the effect of gridlocking all of Macclesfield.
Highways have sensibly insisted that the contractor employs manual control during peak periods to ensure the traffic flow is as managed as possible, but however good this is there will still be serious delays.
I will no doubt get angry letters about this, but what are the other options? This work must be done unless we would like national legislation that prevents the utility companies from running pipes under the road.
This work needs to be done and you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. It's just a shame that the finished omelette is going to look exactly the same as the one we had before.

You mean Barlow waas right? Jesus, Mary and Joseph, begorra. Council approved, organised chaos.
We will now have newer and posher pot holes.
No, I don't think Barlow was right.
Are you suggesting we shouldn't allow the gas mains to be replaced?
