Where the steep bit is now, there wasn't any road.
Not many people had cars then so it didn't matter much.

Which steep bit Marg? :confused: :confused: :confused:

I recall that Accy council and Ossy council couldn't agree on sharing the cost of joining up the two roads.

Its been a little moist today, only fine for a couple of hours while I was in the park checked on our Polish Bantam chicks.

Not sure if they will lay tarmac with it wet, wont it crack the surface off when the trapped water freezes?

SUnday morning is terrible with all the lazy Church visitors dumping cars all along that stretch because of the 2 churchs close together.

No but there were none before. I have seen a few newly laid roads recently that are nothing like flat. I only drove a long the first bit from Rhyddings Street but it looks good so far.

The roads are here are terrible at the moment.

One of the worst must be from Intack Lights down to the McDonalds roundabout.

He's our tarmac spotter.
