'Camel' road layout is vast waste of ratepayers' money

Have your say!

Dear Editor,

Re: Village's new road layout is a mish-mash

I do believe that a few of us more sceptical, shall we say, residents did point out the drawbacks of the then proposed road layout.

It is a real pity, as well as being a huge disappointment and a vast waste of rate payers' money.

One is reminded of the definition of a camel, a horse designed by a committee!

I really do smell the work of a committee behind this one.

New road layout

I think Lazarus is being unfair to camels, which do serve a purpose.

I am still puzzling why, having taken weeks and oodles of dosh, the lay-out at Aerodrome Road has been altered. Traffic that has come fron Canterbury, negotiating the Gateway, is hardly likely then to choose to go down Aerodrome. And with the majority of traffic opting at that point to come straight through the village, the expected 'inconvenience' to traffic at that junction travelling north has not materialised. You can sail straight through.

This might be good news for those opposed to the plan, but it has been an expensive exercise.
