Steve Parish Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 If they are also to carry out bus lane enforcement, are they going to start making buses use them? The one outside the Peace Ranch is never ever used by buses as it puts the bus in the wrong lane at the traffic lights. As soon as the bus pulls away from the bus stop it swings out of the bus lane and into the "normal" traffic lane. Queues regularly back up past the school even when cars use the bus lane in a morning and on the odd occasion that traffic plod have decided to ticket cars for using it, the queue stretched right back past Gullivers world! Maybe Cllr Dirrirrrrr should also look at sorting issues like this first before condemning the motorists to yet more fines Work starts a week on Monday.... The A57 Sankey Way / A574 Cromwell Avenue scheme involves: • Localised widening on Cromwell Avenue at the junction to improve pedestrian/cycle facilities; • Removal of the bus lane on Cromwell Avenue to improve flow for all traffic including buses; • Creation of a 4m shared use path on Cromwell Avenue for the benefit of pedestrians and cyclists; • Renewal of the traffic signal equipment and underground ducting; • Widening of Peace Drive to provide a separate right and left turn lanes; • Resurfacing of the junction. The A57 Sankey Green Roundabout scheme involves: • Creation of a 4 lanes on the A57 Liverpool Road approach to the roundabout; • Renewal of the traffic signal equipment and underground ducting; • Resurfacing of A57 Liverpool Road and Thewlis Street.

Evil Sid Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 How long is it scheduled to take? How long will it actually take? How long after it is finished will it take to remark the roads due to confusion after the first lot of works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey traffic's going to be chaos around there with all that going on. How many of the lanes approaching the Sankey Green (Pink Eye) roundabout will be out of action while the works are in progress etc and how long will that bit take ?

Dizzy Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'm presuming this is actually the same company (NSL) who WBC have just given the 7 year parking contract to.... there was a link to it on the WG news page although it happened 2 years agohttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-16746575 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Maybe they are ok though and it was just a disgruntled employee as they categorically denied any suggestion that any of their wardens etc were set targets or received incentives linked to the number of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) that were issued. Phew that's ok then .... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2092315/Traffic-warden-Hakim-Berkani-exposed-secret-10-tickets-day-quota-scheme.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey_man Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 It's no surprise to learn that a private business is looking to maximise its profits. In fact they wouldn't be much of a commercial organisation if they didn't. The same can't be said of the council who not only shouldn't be using parking as an income stream but who should be working in the best interests of the people of Warrington and its businesses and aren't. What we now have is an organisation that has lost its purpose. Its primary aim now is to look after itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeborn John Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Good old Dirir as progressive as ever full of new ideas and totally dedicated to keeping her income even though she is totally useless. No forward looking ideas just the same old liebor rot charge everyone to cover up the inept management of warrington parking fiascos that occur every year.h Steady on, there's method in the madness, those MBE's don't award themselves you know!
