    Time to start buying spare wing mirrors again!

    Think this says more about your driving than anything else.
    Also there is no blind spot under the bridge.

    Actually saw a police car parked up on the roundabout at eagles medow, officer must have been enjoying the waterfall as they can’t have been doing any work, the crime free booming economic power house that is EM does not need police xD It’s not just the police who think it’s a car park, and it’s not the only roundabout with this problem

    The round about on queensway which should be a junction always has cars parked on it, something about the chav / wrexhamite which seems to think it’s an entitlement to park outside ones home regardless of junctions, roundabouts and other devices.

    Gresford roundabout works rockchicklau, it’s got the problem of “only large roundabout for 30 miles” symdrome, there is a roundabout like this in stockport only it’s 6 lanes not 3 and it works.

    THe B&Q situation is a riot, if you treat it as “2 lanes off” into town (past the racecourse) the car in front of you will stop way before the lights (he’s going to b&q) u dodge him and use the 2nd lane in town and get looked at as if you are the devil,

    I think all of these problems come down to people only driving in wrexham, and living in the weeds, I drive in cities loads, people know how to handle large complex junctions you don’t get the problems, around here, it’s just small town, small minded road hogs, hogging the wrong lane, and shoutin at you if u try and get on with your drive, it’s some weird “que system” entitlement,

    I guess you dont drive loads in major cities then. Gresford roundabout like most in Wrexham have evolved (thanks to our local agencies) into over complicated que makers. I mean if you try to follow the road markings you stand no chance.

    As someone who drives loads in most of the major cities ie London Manchester Liverpool Birmingham Glasgow etc I feel the standard of driving is no better or worse than most of the country. Infact to drive in large cities it a great advantage to remove mirrors and disable indicators, that way you will drive like a local.

    Town was dead at 8:30 this morning maybe people should think about getting going 10 mins earlier to beat the rush and save their stress levels.

    I’m starting to think your one of the clowns who work for the councils highways planning dept. #defendingtheindefensible.

    Lets be honest they have messed up here, but because its the council we will be stuck with it.

    Look at the Llay New rd, 4 limit changes within 1 mile. A child could have used more common sense.

    Of course dont forget this will be spliting the Rhosddu comunity into two as you will not be able to get from Remploy side of Rhosddu to the town side without a huge detour.

    I’ll be doing that from now on. Like i said above if a bill had been out of the ordinary i would have checked the meter. There is a guy coming out on Friday just to check everything is ok.

    Just check that there is no charge for the visit, should the meter be working ok.

    Something worth knowing, if you have three or more children living at home then you entitled to a cheaper tariff. The water companies will not inform you of this.

    I’ve noticed a few buildings in the bushes (across the road from the caravan place)which I presume are part of the colliery. It would be nice if the area was cleared of bushes etc and the buildings made visible from the road.

    Correct
