Did you spot the bit about how the total of the information being sent to residents is that they will write to those who have a house within 100m of the route. So in my town, they are closing the main route through the town, closing the central one-way system, and they think that notifying people who happen to live within 100m will be sufficient. There is no signage up, no public notices, no publicity unless you live within 100m My town will effectively be shut down because the centre and probably all through routes will be blocked, but there will has been no official notice - I'm supposed to guess or deduce such things as the duration of the closure, whether I'll be able to get my daughters to their swimming lesson, whether I need to cancel my parents who were planning to visit that weekend and so on from sketchy reports in the local paper. I don't object to a road closure for a big sporting event. I do object to a road closure when they won't even officially notify the people affected of the location or duration.

I live 200 miles away and I have heard about it. OK then, you tell me which roads will be closed at what time. I don't need that depth of info, I know enough to stay away from the route for the day. Easy enough if you don't live near it. |

Dunno but I'm sure the car-haters will be jumping up and down with sadistic glee at the prospect of the unnecessary chaos that will be caused to all those nasty, selfish drivers. |

A map would've been nice for general viewing. That traffic order is for three days closure of the whole route, and it says they probably only close it for a lesser time period. It's a slight improvement in the detail information, but what it says is at odds with any other information that's been trickled out, and it still doesn't say when the roads will actually be closed. regards, Ian SMith -- |\ /| no .sig |o o| |/ \| |
