Traffic Chaos returns to Tenbury

Once again traffic chaos returned to Tenbury Wells. This time to facilitate the steam cleaning of the pavements.

Due to the need to shut the pavements during the operation, the parking spaces were shut off from vehicles to allow them to be used by pedestrians.

The result, chaos! Traffic queued back to the Aspire Centre and beyond as the fleet of contractors vehicles which still occupy the majority of on-street parking whilst building restoration continues struggled to find alternate accommodation.

I guess the council wanted to make the pavements look clean for applefest, but with so much building work still ongoing surely it is too early?

WHY IS THIS BLOGG FULL OF GLOOM AND DOOM PLEASE PUT SOME GOOD NEWS ABOUT TENBURY ON YOUR BLOGG

There is some good news here, but the main point of the blogg is to put the other side of the story.

Headlines in the local news "such as Tenbury is back in business" when more than 50% of the shops are still closed may be 'good news' but the trouble is, it's just not true.

If it wasn't for comment from me and others working behind the scenes then we would still have 3 way temporary traffic lights in town and long trafic jams every day.

Please feel free to comment as you have done. You may disagree with me which is fine, but I reserve the right to disagree with you.
