  I agree with all the comments here and the snarl up in the centre of Worcester has not had many mentions. Again few if any men working on the Lowesmoor site on the corner of St Martins gate, for the past two weeks there has been traffic control, (used those words for a laugh) with a whole lane coned off, with Traffic lights and then workmen with stop & Go signs. The result has been the same holdups all through and along City Walls road, the Trinity, The Butts, Rainbow Hill in fact all roads heading to, through or past the City Centre. I have to come to the conclusion that we don't actually have a County Council Highways department, just perhaps a couple of overpaid people shuffling bits of paper around, in the hope that they are seen employable. Well based upon our highways conditions, and continuous road blocks, they are not. for the record Coun John Smith is the County Council cabinet member responsible for highways. Ring him not the Hub.

  Summed up nicely Jabbadad. These highways staff are so overpaid, yet they do virtually nothing except cause chaos on the roads, and then try and blame utility companies, legislation and basically anyone but themselves.
  
  And what is more galling is that the County Council appear to have recently spent thousands of pounds repairing the roads and paths, and redoing road markings, on the County Hall site, yet they are choosing to neglect maintaining the roads and pavements which tax payers pay them to do!
  
  In addition to John Smith, John Hobbs is the director of environmental services, which includes the highways department, and Peter Blake is the head of integrated transport (the manager of the highways department)."
