I GENUINELY feel sorry for people who travel around Warrington on a daily basis.

The whole place is a nightmare.

We are retired now and our journeys, which are important to us, are usually to the doctors or hospital.

We have to plan it like a military operation to make sure we don’t miss appointments.

Nightmare one: Cromwell Avenue leading to Sankey Way.

Nightmare two: Bridge Foot, this place is even known about in Europe as a place to avoid at all costs.

Nightmare three: Cromwell Avenue leading to Winwick Road where clued up people divert through Callands to save 20 minutes.

I am sure people have stories to tell about Wilderspool Causeway and other places but the best in Warrington has got to be the junction eight fiasco.

The council and traffic planners must have spent minutes thinking that one up.

Looking at the massive volume of traffic with warehouse staff and heavy goods vehicles and new housing being planned I don’t suppose it dawned on anyone to build a new Omega junction half a mile further on.

I don’t think so, it costs money.

Better to let the poor sods be late.

The council cannot even spend money on painting white lines in the centre of roads.

Has anyone often wondered if they are in the right lane?

Driving from Burtonwood down Gorsey Lane there are no lines.

I don’t know what traffic planners and councillors think about motorists but whatever it is, it is not good enough.

The leader of the council lives in Burtonwood – sort the white lines out in Gorsey Lane before someone gets hurt.
