Westgate Street - Shambles


They're still at it. Lorries I mean, mounting pavements and trashing the slabs.

When are B&NES going to stop this destruction and manage the access better. It must cost a fortune replacing and repairing the paving repeatedly. Patches of ugly black Tarmac are spreading down the street.
The worst thing is that road users have this strange idea that they have the right to displace anyone in their way. You try pointing out to a lorry driver that he shouldn't be on our pavement and they get bloody rude.
What road users have to realise is that the days of personal transport and nation road distribution networks are numbered. Our roads and towns and country and ultimately the planet can't sustain their use much longer.
There should be comprehensive pedestrian rights over all highways. One day it will be so.
