I WRITE after having to act and intervene as a stand in traffic control officer.


On Tuesday January 14, from 7pm, Ruskin Drive was completely blocked at both ends from the Ruskin Drive complex right down to Dentons Green Lane.

The one road in one road out layout led to traffic wars with a standstill for at least 20 minutes.

Had I not gone out and intervened they would still be there now.


When is the council going to use a bit of common sense and open up the gates to filter the traffic out on to Rivington Road?


This is in addition to people still parking on the road despite there being signs showing there is a car park. At one stage a few people in cars asked me had there been an accident.
