Just wondering if anyway had seen the three aerial photos from 1973 on the council’s website?
Likewise – The visual impact of the plant itself should be low as it is right across the road from the Kellogg’s factory. The power route they’ll have to build will probably follow the existing route. There’s an image of a similar plant on page 3 of this document.
The whole area is sand, it’s all they could do to compress it, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it has already began to sink, with the heavy rain.
Has anyone mentioned the internet? I’d say that was a major factor for reduced footfall in most population centres in the run to to the economic crisis; which just ensured the closure of many businesses.
Game/Gamestations are an example; with games now downloadable online through Steam, XBox Live or PSN, it can be quicker and cheaper to purchase and download than go into town!
Other goods must still be delivered, but with more shops lowering their “free delivery over X” prices, and some even going free delivery for everything, will town centres even be a thing in 20 years?

The hours I’ve spent on there. What surprises me is the no pedestrianisation!
I’ve seen them doing road verges and the busier areas. Though I’ve noticed with this recent rain the grass has been growing faster.

One for me is the roundabout at Rhostyllen Jct3 on the 483 by the little chef.
I come down the slip road from chester everyday in the right lane to take the 3rd exit up to Johnstown. As you get onto the roundabout there is regularly someone joins from Rhostyllen without giving way to me from the right. they think as its a large roundabout and you’re in the right lane it’ll be ok to keep to the left of you, which then causes a problem as you cross to the left to leave the roundabout. It must be the only roundabout where giving way to traffic from the right does not apply.:rolleyes:One thing that irks me is that the Rhostyllen road here does not join the roundabout at the right angle. I always find myself having to excessively turn when getting on the roundabout coming from Rhostyllen, especially when in the right lane!
Best advice:
Not Council or Police – Do not pay; ignore the letters. It usually goes as far as an “intent to prosecute” letter but no further. Search the internet for laughs; one man even replied with a similar letter saying that by taking photos of his car the parking company had automatically agreed to a contract and he invoiced them for the same amount they had done him!
Council or Police – Pay! These have statutory powers and can definitely get the money from you!
On another subject, if supermarkets were so concerned about parking they’d operate their car parks more like NCP’s in which you need a ticket to leave (to activate the barrier). You get a ticket while entering, and you hand your ticket to the cashier at the supermarket while buying things, and that validates the parking. Still free, just more secure; it would cut down on the cheapskates going into town.The idea generally is to attach infrastructure to lamp-posts and buildings and create a true “zone” rather than one shop.

It seems the new Eagles Meadow junction is popular. I don’t eve think it’s down to signage, there is a yellow sign on the approach as well as the paint. I think people just do it because they can.
As for merging in turn by Dunhelm, it would still be standard practice to try doing so; if nobody lets you out stop further along rather than right away so those behind you can carry on rather than blocking the road.
