They’re back! Electricity Northwest had been digging up the road near the Fusiliers from the 15th of Jan and originally until around the the 21st of January, but if memory serves me right, I think it overran by a day or so.

Well, if you missed those roadworks, don’t worry as they’re back for the sequel. Presumably the week they had last time wasn’t enough, or there was another fault elsewhere, either way it’s going to be chaos on the roads again.

Knowing what delays were caused last time, it might be worth subscribing to the podcast to have something to listen to?

Speaking to the people working at the site they say it could reopen later today, if not it will be a couple of days.

Access up to the old school building is possible but no further. Access to Carnousite would need to be from the top.

Roadworks have yet again brought the roads around Ramsbottom to its knees causing some journeys as short as from the Hare and Hounds to Ramsbottom of just over a mile to take between 30 minutes and an hour.

The roadworks are being completed by Electricity Northwest for an underground high voltage cable (possibly related to the power outages that have occurred in the past few months nearby)

Every few months I seem to be reporting on how our roads are being suffocated by the sheer number of cars, yet new homes continue to be built and bus services get cut. Does anyone have the solution?
