Rising Bridge roundabout
 

A motorcyclist lost his leg last night and there were 2 accidents the night before.My wife was nearly side-swiped on Friday afternoon by a car not stopping when coming down from Burnley.There are cars suddenly pulling up mid roundabout due to stop lines for traffic lights.
The area is extremely dangerous on approach because it has not been lined out at the edge of the roundabout,cars are either overshooting into the roundabout or just not stopping thinking they have the right of way and driving into traffic.
Be careful.

Thanks for the advice Stevie. Glad your wife was not hurt. Sounds like something needs doing about it and fast.

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

I reported it yesterday morning via the LCC website,too late though for that biker it seems.

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

Sorry to hear about the poor lad. At least you have done all you can to try and prevent anyone else being hurt.

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

its always been dodgy up yon i only use that roundabout when have no other choice.glad yer wifes ok stevie.

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

It needs more care and consideration from all drivers until the lights are working.A roundabout is not a race track

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

The comment by the Police in the newspaper and other at the scene after the accident suggests no other vehicles were involved. We probably won't find out what happened because the newspapers probably won't do a follow up story if only the bike was involved

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

i catch the bus to go to acre ... and to come back again .... im refusing to cross that bypass till its sorted ... by the way that roundabout should have been finished in june last year and its still not finished yet!!!!

To be sure he should be.;)

What a shame our MP has deserted us on Accrington Web when he used to post so often in the past. Maybe he can only spare us enough time to type 140 characters now he is our MP

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

It's our own fault, we could have sucked up to him and indeed to the councillors that used to post regularly on here but no, we kept asking him and them down to earth questions that he/they were never brave enough to answer honestly.

:(

If only we had the lack of intelligence to understand 5% of what they used to post, then perhaps they would use AccyWeb as their sounding board 95% of the time.
:p

Looking at his twitter he appears to be more interesting in things happening in other countries than Hyndburn

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

From a politico, that doesn't surprise me in the least!

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

Yes, Neil....true, how does that benefit his constituents?
You know, those folk who were confident in his ability to represent them and their concerns.
How betrayed we feel. I am one of those who put my cross in his box. I felt that he knew the town, he knew the needs of the town...and this is how he repays us for our votes.
Never again!

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

I wish his box had two of life's essentials in it, then maybe he'd be able to represent us instead of just the Labour party.
:mad:

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

Fool me once...shame on you. Fool me twice...well, that won't be happening.

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

he may be staying away from us even more now we are racist biggots for voting out of the EU

thing is even if you delete your comments on social media theres usually someone who sees them

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

And copy and paste them somewhere else.

I've a large collection of insulting facebook posts directed at me. A local councillor suggested I take legal advice about one of the.

I think people forget when they are typing away after a drinks that they could be held accountable for things they say. Wine Wednesday and weekend evenings produced many of the silly comments

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

Surely you're not one of the claim 4 u brigade?
Most of us slander and are slandered.
A pinch of salt usually takes me away from the main culprits that attack.

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

I didn't do anything about it, just found it ironic that it was suggested I did

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

Sadly Neil that's the way of the world nowadays, well for some folk at least, mainly the great unwashed, " I know my rights!" & the Kyle candidate crowd.

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

No doubt he thinks that all AW members are in the 95% who know nothing at all and can't be bothered to educate us all.

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

Well, I for one,do not need our representative to educate me.
I am more than capable of researching the things I need/want to know.
And would I trust what a politician was telling me? I don't think I would...well not without checking the 'facts' for myself first.
I would be asking myself why he was telling me whatever it was, and what was in it for him...because I feel pretty sure there would have to be some kind of incentive for him.

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

Or perhaps her?

Lets not be sexist about the thieves/fibbers and downright perverted crooks that wander through both houses of power.

Re: Rising Bridge roundabout
 

The one I was thinking of is male(the one who thinks 95% of us haven't got the brains to find our bum cheeks with both hands)...but yes, the thieves and fibbers are of both genders.
