Possibly sabotage by Sainsbury with a view to completely rerouting the road to connect to the East end of Hartham Lane?

I assume you were joking but the traffic consultant who attended the PPS Group/Sainsbury consultation mentioned such an option.

I was only half joking. I didn't go to the consultation, but looking at my streetmap, it seems an obvious way to link Hartham Lane with Port Hill.

Wasn't that the old 'Northern Relief Road' ? Taste The Difference ?

It was, but houses and a light industrial estate have been built on that route since the late 70s.

Saw something about road being cosed for re-surfacing but seemed to be directly in front of the houses. Didn't clock a date.

Phew! What a relief. From the thread title I expected a sighting of four winged horsemen or at least a breakdown of democracy. Thankfully it's just some local and much needed roadworks. I'll stop hoarding soup and candles and come out from under the stairs.

I foresee a new road connecting the A10 with the back end of Sainsbury's... Anything to keep the supermarkets happy and start carving that 'useless' (flood-plain and not able to build houses on it) Hartham Common <sigh> [:(]

Did you really think that the new hole near the playground was going to be a skatepark[:)] Looks more like an exploratory dig to me.
