Comments for Wolverhampton Politics http://www.wolverhamptonpolitics.co.uk Political debate and discusion from a Wolverhampton perspective Sat, 05 Jul 2008 20:49:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 Comment on Wolverhampton Tories and Lib Dems do a deal by Stephen Nolan http://www.wolverhamptonpolitics.co.uk/2008/wolverhampton-tories-and-lib-dems-do-a-deal/#comment-138 Stephen Nolan Tue, 20 May 2008 09:20:23 +0000 http://www.wolverhamptonpolitics.co.uk/2008/wolverhampton-tories-and-lib-dems-do-a-deal/#comment-138 'The A449 red route will be scrapped,' I feel sums up what the problem is. Let's not forget there was a purpose to this red route. There was a purpose to spending all that time and money on installing the red route. It seems most frustration is that the route is a contradiction from the start. No parking on the red route to allow two lanes of traffic to flow freely into Wolverhampton... except for in this and this condition. So rather than there being a mass of cars parked up there is just one or two which equally block the traffic rendering the red route pointless. I don't think the route is to blame, and i don't think scraping it is a valid solution. Clear, un-complicated rules along with some form of enforcement. Scrapping it is going to cause a bigger long term problem with traffic entering the city, surly. May I ask what they think will happen when the i54 is completed? The express and star quoted the following figures, 'Remember the cost of Red Route to the taxpayer – £1.7 million for installing it plus £1.3 million paid to the consultants.' excuse me for being disgusted at the idea of scrapping that. Money well spent? Equally it seems the only thing the writer wanted to do was highlight the failures of the project which is not productive nor needed. This needs to be addressed and taken seriously, I think it is essential especially once the i54 is completed that there are two consistent flows of traffic into the city. ‘The A449 red route will be scrapped,’ I feel sums up what the problem is.

You appear to be a good presenter even when not being insulted by random Linux geeks. ;) Congratulations on the Communist interview, it pulled me in from a non-Linux related source, and I'm in Cambridge.
