Speaking of Carbon Footprint and Street Lights, has anyone seen what is going on at whitebirk roundabout? Is there really any need for so many lamposts? Did Lancs CC get a job lot in that they are finding difficult to shift or what? |
I work at Whitebirk and use the roundabout several times a day. I can say It has been a complete nightmare.
Apparently it was given the all clear this morning and was announced on local radio stations that the Lights were in full working order. Well they sure weren't at dinner time!!
When nipping out for lunch the lights coming up to the junction were on Red there were a few of us in cars waiting to go for a good 5 minutes and the person in front of me got restless and carried on forward, jumping the lights. They eventually changed and everyone carried on but the cars to the left and right didn't seem to be go Red and their's stayed on Green the whole time. Almost like a free for all.
On my way back from my dinner the lights were flashing Red, Amber & Green continuosly for about half a second a time. It was almost like playing chicken. No one seemed to realise what was going on. Whilst turning left I shouted to one of the blokes to say the lights weren't working and he replied in jest 'Get your t*ts out and we will'
. It's a good job I can take things on the chin but if most women would be disgusted!
I just hope it works out a success.. surely it can't be worse than it was before.
