Postal traffic is being stung by road signage
ROYAL Mail is one of the largest employers in our town centre.
It is not unlike a beehive.
Every day of the week hundreds of people and vehicles depart and return from the delivery office like bees from a hive.
Unfortunately, the hive is now encircled by a new traffic system, bees leaving the hive must now turn left instead of right.
Rather than making this clear, the road sign opposite the exit to our premises has been lazily turned around to face St Peter’s gardens rather than directing the bees in the direction of traffic, and we are regularly met by vehicles travelling the wrong way.
As the only way to access
St Peter’s Street is via John Williams Street, hundreds of bees per day are now returning to the hive straight through the town centre, increasing traffic immensely.
Was Royal Mail consulted regarding the consequences of these changes to traffic flow? It seems not.
Will PM face the music?
SAINT Boris doesn’t believe that the buck stops with him – as far as he is concerned, it doesn’t even slow down.
There’s going to be a government inquiry next year - whose government - into the state’s handling of the Covid crisis. The state’s handling, mind you, not his, as this county’s leader it is he who has ultimate responsibility, it is he who ultimately makes the decisions.
Will this ‘inquiry’ show that if it hadn’t been for his cavalier approach and his refusal to implement lockdown sooner, tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths could have been avoided?
What was wrong at uni?
AN INTERESTING recent comment by Stephen Dorril has been presented regards new qualification standards required to enable lecturing at Huddersfield University.
What was lacking previously, where students excelled in their fields and went on to being useful?
Perhaps Stephen could expand on if ‘Common Purpose’ is a criteria to factor in, as it is in the realms of modern-day education, and employment prospects, for ‘conformist’ participants of common purpose with its own agenda.
A lorryload of effort
IF MAYOR Tracy Brabin and her advisors are to turn around a complex bus network, won’t at least one of them need a HGV?
