AM I the only person infuriated at what would appear to be a complete lack of foresight on behalf of those tasked with scheduling the digging up of Oxford’s roads?
The ongoing work by Southern Gas Networks in Woodstock Road has caused horrific delays to traffic entering and leaving the city for weeks. This is all the more infuriating to delayed drivers given that there never seems to be more than two or three men working during the morning rush hour.
Requiring this company to speed up its work – by employing more people throughout the day, and working throughout the night – could have seen the work completed in a fraction of the time.
Incredibly, this work has overlapped with fresh work in Banbury Road, and the work on replacing the Wolvercote viaduct – providing a triple whammy for motorists in the north of the city.
