General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

1)Why dont they make it 2 lanes along scot lane from the junction with Woodhouse lane, the bridge is certainly wide enough. Have a look how wide the bridge is at that point next time you pass. see here
2) why dont they open stadium way up so you could drive from Martland mill to B&Q without having to pass robin park/JJb/Asda?
3) who blocked off the new road from Martland mill to Heinz's Walthew house lane?

3 Good questions Sir, and there are 3 good answers to match. However I fear than any attempt to answer them in deatail by myself might be met by disbelief, cyncisim and critique.....my suggestions is that as well as asking the questions to yourself , you also consider the implications of carrying out your suggestions. ie. would the widening of Scot lane and the £Ms it would cost be an effective exercise and would it actually lead to an improvement in traffic flow or would it introduce congestion in other areas and be a pointless venture a white elephant and a vote loser? My own view is that it would encourage even more traffic into the bottle-neck that is the Saddle junction...but hey-ho.

Then ask yourself the same about the presently closed roads you mention. Are they suitable for the increased traffic flow they would see and meet the required DOT regulations, how much would it cost to bring them up to standard, and this is the biggy.......does the *MBC/Council/Metro* (Delete as applicable) actualy own the land/roads in question and have the authority to open them up as public highways. `Clue`.....Heinz and JJB (or whoever owns them this week) are rich organisations,their assets include more than a football/rugby ground and a bean factory and dont end at the fences.

For the definative answer can I refer you to the *MBC/Council/Metro* (Del as applic). They have several flunkies who are paid well (from your council tax) to answer questions and make problems dissapear. You will receive a personalised reply on headed notepaper signed by someone who knows what they are talking about........so take my advice and get your moneys worth Pal.

PS They may even tell you about some of their `secret plans`
