Shutting Brooklands Road & Parvis Road wont cause many problems

Bridge to west Byfleet & you are not allowed to cross, I wonder how
you are supposed to get to Weybridge Station?

There will apparently be crossing points, which will be open at some
times during the closures, but as far as I know the location and
opening times of the crossing points is not even being advised to
those people who do live within 100m. They will be signed on the day,
apparently.

I say apparently, because all this is rumour - because the council
cretins haven't said anything to anyone more than 100m from the
course.

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.

within 100m of the closure?

Sounds like a good day out with the bull bars.

Haven't they heard of the internet - easy nowadays to complete traffic plans
and then just publish them.

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.

There you go, Ian - problem solved. 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.

It's a good job the Pope is not visiting.
When I was on holiday - the roads were barriered off and there were
*no* crossing points at all.
