I HAVE just realised what the Highways Agency and Government plan is for fooling the north west motorist about traffic improvements.

Cone off 15 miles of the M6 in our area and impose a 50mph limit.

No need for any workers or plant to be used on this stretch and no works need to be evident.

After several months remove the cones and the 50 limit and traffic flows more freely.

Joe Motorist thinks this is much better – a job done. Only cost is a few cones and lots of money generated from speeding fines.

Perhaps we can add a cardboard cut out of workers for realism?
