Traffic Chaos Set to hit Ramsbottom

by 3 Comments

These are not the actual road works…

Ramsbottom is once again set to become gridlocked with more planned road works. This time however it’s not resurfacing of Bridge Street nor a closure for another (fantastic) festival, It’s not even to fix broken water pipes due to the heavy goods vehicles that use our roads. This time it’s gas. Gas pipe replacement works.

Twitter follower Alan Groves brought to my attention (cheers Alan) recently the planned road works ready to hit Ramsbottom this coming Monday which will undoubtedly cause congestion and suffering over all our already busy routes.

The planned start date for the works is Monday the 23rd of July 2018.

Parking on pavements is unavoidable in some areas of Ramsbottom

How do you think Ramsbottom would cope if a pavement parking ban was put in place?

 

This is a common sight around Ramsbottom which if the legislation was passed would mean real difficulty for our parking situation.

Would it mean Ramsbottom would need to get the blue signs installed everywhere?

James Frith has been continuing to show up in various press recently, not only standing by Ramsbottom to get better transport via the Rosso Bus diversions but also helping various charities including this spot in Bury Times for D-CaFF and Bury Hospice.

Great to see our local MP using his image for good.

How do you think James has done since taking office?
