Ok, back from holiday.  Discover that roadworks in Poplar Lane have been a disaster for the residents.  Doing my best to help them now.

BUT

School term starts tomorrow.  The back gate to Winnersh Primary is in Poplar Lane and quite a lot of parents drive down there to drop their children off.  If you know anyone who goes that way tell them:  DON’T DO  IT!

They will get stuck.  The road is only surfaced part of the way along, and the rest of it is not only very narrow but trenches have been dug alongside it, everything is covered with mud, and there are almost certainly going to be constuction vehicles in the road.  Even with no construction vehicles, opportunities to turn round are far more limited than usual – and let’s face it, even the usual is pretty limited.   

I am keen to avoid chaos, so in the morning I will be down there trying to warn people.   If they still want to drive down there, I can’t actually stop them of course, but I really really don’t think they will be happy if they do.
