GB, as I was cycling passed yesterday, All the men when stood about doint nowt, I joked to them, " need a lift lads, I can do that gis a job" A nasty one said ( they are everywhere nasty people) " eff off" then a more pleasant informative nice guy, ( like me ) said, " We can't get the tarmac due to, covid, Brexit and some numpty in the planning did't order enough"
I understand that, probably a mate of Sledge

People in cars complaining about other people in cars!!
What irony!!

Wigan should be turned into a village. Roads round it, nothing but boutiques in the middle.

I wanted to go to Currys for an item and thought about going to Robin Park Wigan but with all the traffic problems decided to go to St Helens.Got onto the A58 and was there in no time no hastle with any traffic

you're right Peter its also quicker to go to B+Q in Warrington for me, which is 11 miles away than, go B+Q Wigan, which is 1.4 miles away,

B&Q at Winwick, with a McDonalds at the side of it

that's the one Tommy tee,
11 miles from my house and 11 minutes on average to get there, If I set off from my house to B+Q Wigan, 11 minutes later, I'm in a jam at Peters chippy or the saddle,
Sledge may have left the planning but, he learned the upcoming planners how to gridllock our town and take our council tax in big lumps,

roadworks boss

Heads up guys just seen workmen putting signs out on poolstock lane Wigan side near the roundabout says work starting here 4th of October for 7 weeks that's going to be fun Not

off FB

The roads in Wigan have been in a mess for years now and people keep blaming the councillors but the same people keep voting in the same people has long as this keeps happening the £13,000 a year councillors will never alter the ever chaotic road nightmares in this town,So vote differently.

its good and bad from Poolstock Lane,
1. good news, the works at Peters chippy is finished,
2. now the bad.

Its only seven weeks absolute mayhem why worry.
