Wasn't the OP suggesting that some lighting might be a good idea and therefore stating there wasn't any?

[Cupes68 10]

PC...I never said there was lighting, I was just making a suggestion.

If you have nothing practical to add, keep it shut!!

 

Strix, there is a dog bin at 1 end, could do with 1 at the other.

Oh forget it i cant see them putting lighting there anyway when did they ever do anything in the mill mind you the poop bins were a good idea .

just for interest, I was on the phone to the council yesterday - about lighting - and was told they're being privatised in the not too distant future. The government have allocated one heck of a lot of money to replacing huge quantities of street lighting between now and 2012, so get your suggestion in for this lighting!

 

Wasn't the station supposed to be becoming an interchange? has that fallen by the wayside now?

Not strictly true. The funding is all part of the highways PFI package. It will be at least 2 years before that contract is up and running. The vast majority of any renewal/upgrading work will take place within the first five years (ish) of that contract and will only apply to council owned roads and footways.

[Cupes68 10]

So is the road owned by the council or Network Rail??

 

i've sent a mail to the council, just awaiting a reply... could be a while.

No, you're right. I do seem to recall there being a 'private road' sign there at one time. I may be wrong though........dementia n all that.

[Cupes68 10]

Wow....What a small can of worms I seem to have opened.

Thanks for the info so far people.

you could be right - I think Junction Road opposite is unadopted, but was resurfaced by Network Rail recently as access to the refurbished signalling yard and box
