    I’ve drawn a picture to make it easier for you to grasp.

    I’m in the right hand lane, and a car in the left hand lane is dangerously driving over the lane division.

    Well Simon, you can’t blame walls, bushes or whatever for the situation you refer to in the post above.
    As I stated before, bad driving.
    I think you have inadvertently supported my statements despite me being a ‘self righteous git’ (in your words).

    How can I be in the wrong if I’m in the right lane, hugging the roundabout curb for safety, because I am aware of bad driving from drivers in the left lane?
    I think this is a pure and simple case BenjaminM spitting the dummy because other posters have told him he’s wrong.

    Grow up you fool.

    The roundabout is also very dangerous approaching it from the other direction. I’m usually in the right hand lane to turn right for DW Sports/Aldi etc on the Plas Coch Retail Park.
    I’d be a wealthy man if I was paid £1 for every time a motorist in the left hand lane has encroached partly into my lane when they are travelling to Sainsburys. Near miss after near-miss! I haven’t noticed any road markings on the roundabout? If there are any, then they have faded beyond recognition.
    I find myself driving really slow in the right-hand lane and ‘hugging’ the my side of the roundabout.
    Again, test it yourselves! :)

    No, I do not have the ability to see through walls (?) and bushes but what I do possess is the ability to ‘read the road’.
    And yes, it has everything to do with driving skills and ability which has been clearly demonstrated on various posts of late. For example, Gresford roundabout, Mold Rd, Salop Rd to name but three.
    Goodness knows how some people would cope with motorways or city driving.
    All that I read seems to blame the Highways Department, perhaps some need to look a little closer to home.

    You self-righteous git.
    I’ve been driving 28-years without a bump in the car. I’d ask anyone reading this thread to approach the roundabout in question from the Sainsbury petrol station and give an honest evaluation of the bushes obstructing the motorists view.

    If Wrexham fans are being asked to produce I.D, isn’t that a clear indication of worry that Chester fans will go into the home areas because of their reduced allocation?
    So why change the previous system of 2,000 tickets for the traditional away end? Instead, a reduced allocation is implemented in a corner of a Wrexham fans’ stand? It doesn’t make sense?
    The Chester coaches will be parked on Mold Rd. Yet, at the end of the game, Chester fans will mingle with home support to get to their coaches?

    It’s just lunacy. It’s almost as it the Police want trouble

    Just to add. The Police & Safety Advisory Group have turned this game into a game which presents all kinds of problems. What was wrong with the proven Sunday 12 noon game we all came to expect?
    On Chester Races day as well….
    The Police will therefore now be watching the town centre, the ground, the railway, , the bus routes, Chester races….

    I am very saddened at the way Wrexham is at the moment.
    I park my car at the Library, and see people waiting to score on Chester St. Grosvernor Rd is no different. I see open-dealing on the streets of Rhosddu, Holt Rd, Smithfield…
    Things in my opinion, have changed since the ‘big name’ stores have moved to Eagles meadow. The town has always been ‘rough around the edges’. We can all accept that, but it’s going worse (in my opinion). After my night trip last week to King St I’m not encouraged to go back in a hurry.

    Grosvernor Rd. Emancipated junkies riding around on bicycles, stopping on street corners, shaking hands with people sitting on walls and riding on to the next customer…

    Seeing the area photographed is part of ‘Island Green Shopping Park’ it must be said that this area looks scruffy. It looks an ideal place for a junkie, especially at night-time, to crouch down and inject without being bothered.
    How’s about cutting down the bushes and making the area less-appealing for drug users? Hard I know, because in reality, the town has plenty of places which appeal to junkies.

    This is part of a retail park?

    I rarely go into Wrexham, but one night last week I fancied a takeaway. I only visited King Street but, what a dark miserable area? Apart from the Bus Station itself which was lit up, the surrounding streets looked miserable, with some righty shifty people walking about. I dread to think what the Town Hill/Pen Y Bryn areas are like at night time? In the daytime Peny Y Bryn looks like part of the worst places in Liverpool. :confused:

    Just been down that way. Seems to be a few cars parked up on the side of the forecourt. There is another car on the pavement by the traffic lights, another parked with its hazards on just before the flyover and another car being put on a trailer by the gypsy camp….don’t know if its all down to fuel issues.

    Yes I saw this at about 6pm. There were two AA vans trying to sort out broken down cars on the forecourt, and there was three cars broken down by the bypass traffic lights.
