Just been listening to the news report on the road. Anybody mapped it yet? I get the impression that it is a speculative venture that may well not actually make a profit since the road apparently cost £150k and the overheads of charging will also eat into any profit. The council are concerned about the development since they have to move 4000 tonnes of stone to the problem site, so did not want the increased cost of managing that on to of fixing the road as fast as possible. Perhaps another expense the toll road owner may have to agree to to get retrospective planning permission. It show how poor the road systems are in some areas of the country. Access to Bath could really do with a proper set of dual carriageways from the M4 and going across Bristol to the M5. I frequent that area on business quite often, and am using tertiary roads most of the time simply to get into one side of the distruption, even before the road was closed. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
