Roadworks fail to light-en load

Damon Wilkinson

DRIVERS are still facing long jams at Townhead because traffic lights have not been timed correctly.

As the Observer reported in June, highways bosses promised to replace the control panel at the John Street lights in a bid to solve the problem.

   The sudden lights are also out of sync. I waited for almost 10 minutes and 4 changes to get through these lights at 11.30 at night. Shambles. Has anybody lost their job over this? I guess not.

   Driving up John Street is a nightmare. Why have the first set go green when the next set are on red. Getting onto Whitworth Road is a farce and there has been no improvement.

I could always buy a Private Hire car and use the bus lane undetected though.

   It was ten times better before they touched it. I use falinge road now and go out of my way to get to work because of that disaster.God help people who live in Littleborough. Why cant they open red lane to take the pressure off?
