Who dreams up all these nightmares?

Who is the brain in charge of traffic schemes?

Did somebody wake up one day with the brilliant idea that we need to extend kerbs into the road, for no apparent reason other than to force already snarled-up areas into single lanes?

And while we are at it, we won't match the local pavement scheme but throw down lots of cheap, ugly, black goo.

The road thinning schemes have to stop. Now.

What is the point ? What is being achieved?

I drove round the Elms roundabout the other day and almost mounted a new piece of pavement turning into Dominion Road.

It was dark, wet and black, pavement and road.

Was there a accident here?

Did a blind, screaming child run into the road to create the normal typical English reaction to "do something about it" if it was the first time to happen in the past 1,000 years.

Or you may mow into a lump of concrete in Ardsheal Road near the fire station.

What happened here?

Was someone seen in the vicinity crossing the road in a loud shirt that distracted countless motorists? It's ridiculous.

And let's not get started on the disprovement scheme between Steyne Gardens and the Aquarena.

Do these people live in the real world or just outside of Worthing?

Perhaps when the day is done, they return to their padded establishment that has been thoroughly risk-assessed to ponder on the next hair-brained scheme.

Why not narrow all our single carriage highways into cycle lanes and pedestrian walkways while we are at it?

We can then all park out of town in extortionate car parks run by the NCP and live in a totally paved suburbia.

Then the PC brigade can get together with the council and improve it.
