Boris Johnson Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 6 hours ago, Roxanne said: I like the road layout of the prom - and that’s a phrase I never thought I’d hear myself utter. I’ve been up and down it a few times now including this morning in ‘rush hour’ and I like it more every time I travel it. Bear in mind, I’m not passing comment on the finish, the concrete, the pavements, the lights et al, just the road layout itself. I like the roundels too at one time the road just ran straight through with no markings and it worked just fine it also seems to be working much the same now It takes me back to the days when there were no traffic lights, no roundabouts, no signs telling us what to do. The times when everyone just took care and looked after themselves and others. At one time before the works started (when Noah was a small boy) I counted twenty four road/parking signs around the Villa Marina. They’re all gone now and It’s much prefer it. So there. I don't think they have finished putting up the new signs........................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I find it sort of all right but, and its a big but, Mrs Johnson will not drive on it any more, its made her shop in Tesco mostly as an aside as she finds getting there easier than M&S or Shockrite She is from the UK and drives in Manchester/ Preston and the surrounding areas quite a few times a year still but found the prom too "unfathomable" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomTucker Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 no queues on broadway as no traffic lights is the biggest benefit, i noticed the pinkcrete has almost entirely broken off where it meets the tram rails. When you drive the full length its kinda OK, sh*t finish but at least its not a suspension workout like it used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needs a 2 inch thick layer of tarmac spreading across the road and shite-crete. Job would be perfect then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramseyboi Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Anyone know what is with all the yellow police marks on the road heading towards the Sea Terminal along the prom on the approach to the roundabout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbnuts Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 See the gift that keeps on giving ...if your a Sefton shareholder that is. Apparently according to MR the works around the Sefton cannot be itemised seperatly so would seem the taxpayer picks up the costs. Despite earlier DOI said that works around the area Sefton would contribute . Needs to be questions asked about all this as too much seems to go on around Sefton and Government. John Shimmin anybody ??!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A post modern piece, combining the demise of the internal combustion engine with the metaphorical car crash that has been the prom redevelopment. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
