Mr APLS,
I appreciate the level headed approach you are starting to take on this issue and the fact it would appear you are begining to realise that not everything is the fault or indeed in the control of WMBC.

CORRECT....it is an unadopted road. In effect its privately owned land, it might as well be a field, factory premises or even someones drive and who is to say, despite it being a strip of tarmac that it meets legal design requirements and is suitable for even light traffic use. Because the road is in effect private the issue of liabilty rears its head. If the policeman had cut the padlock and allowed traffic through who would have assumed responsibilty for what would have been in effect a act of tresspass, more importantly who would be paying out if there was an accident attributable to the roads condition?........well I dunno, but I tell you who wouldnt....WMBC.

Here comes the answer.....you can choose to believe me or not, I wont argue. Walthew House Ln from its junction with Springs Rd to the gate you talk about belongs to the biggest manufacturer of canned foods in the world and has done so since the day they laid the first brick.......they bought it as part of the land package way before the Martland mill industrial site was even considered and despite continued ongoing efforts by WMBC to reach a compromise over the issue they refuse to play ball and allow vehicle use along it........... A similar situation also applies for Stadium way.

Please dont come back saying your uncles, brothers, wifes, aunts neighbour used to clean the bogs in Heinz and she says you are wrong or something similar The fact is its a very complicated legal issue and beyond the full control of WMBC.

Thank you for taking time to read my comments, I hope they clarify things for you and more importantly make you consider the big picture before directing critique at the minions toiling away in civic hall.

Have a nice day.
