DRIVING through Stockton Heath took 30 minutes one morning this week.
The cause of the problem? Maybe the swing bridge was closed? Was there an accident on the motorway? A water pipe burst which shut a road?
Well it was none of the above. It was a delivery van outside Sainsbury’s by the lights.
So traffic coming from the south could hardly get by due to the volume of traffic coming the other way.
Surely Sainsbury’s could time its lorries for 6am like every other supermarket.
More to the point, if one lorry unloading can gridlock half the town, what chance do drivers have when the swing bridge is shut all day for nine months as of April next year?
How do Peel and Warrington Borough Council plan to keep Warrington moving?
Because at the moment it looks like a disaster waiting to happen.
