Hi All, With reference to the John Tallant Road temporary closure, I heard complaints on the radio this morning about the traffic light at the intersection, being stuck on "red"!

I thought these 'East' signs were miss-placed and asked that they be moved West, to just after the John … [Read more...] about Take a Bow Sanral
