There is still a deafening silence from Amey about the "rogue" closure of Marston Hill two weeks ago, for roadworks.
If you didn't experience it directly, it continued after the normal 3.30 finish which allows school and rush-hour traffic to flow. This time it went on, it has been reported to me, til after 6.30 and there was a massive traffic queue into Salford and beyond heading for J13 and the A421.
In addition there were no signs down at the A421-Beancroft Road junction letting people know the road was closed much higher up. Nor were any diversion signs posted so if you didn't have local knowledge you were in big trouble.
So there were wasted journeys and tricky turn-rounds. Normally there is a TTRO (temporary traffic regulation order) which comes through to the PC for information but I cannot recall seeing one. That gives all the details and shows the conditions.
Cllr Sue Clark asked Amey, the CBC Highways contractor about this two weeks ago and answer came there none. She says she has now escalated the query to the portfolio lead (senior councillor) and senior officers and will share any feedback.
