Mrspittthree Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Also there are temp traffic lights in Coal Aston and the lights are not working (been like it a few days) so that’s causing extra chaos 🙈, also not see a bloke in a high vis for days so nowt going on to improve the situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudbeer Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Am not one for overreacting to bad weather but Meadowhall should be held to account here the issues were growing from the morning and with the forecast for continued rain all day and evening it was highly likely that theses problems would worsen and cause serious travel issues in the evening so why were they so late to cancel the event?

To paraphrase Jacob Rees Mogg, why didn't people use some common sense & make their own decisions & stay at home instead of going to the event?

My guess is that Meadowhall were hoping the event would still go ahead, purely for commercial reasons I suppose, I believe there was a statement from Meadowhall earlier yesterday afternoon, that the event was still going ahead despite the continuing weather and flood concerns, I'm sure it also stated the acts had already arrived and everything was ready and in place. On another note, it still amazes me how many drivers still go and plough their cars through deep water thinking it will be fine ….. bizarre !

WalkleyIan Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 friend of mine got stuck for 2/12 hours going down to Wickes from Walkley. Seems an amber warning is not quite enough for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJRB Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Still plenty of thoughtless or malicious drivers ploughing through major puddles at speed and soaking pedestrians in the process.One pick up truck in particular driving up past Dam Flask engulfed a bloke attending to a stranded car at the roadside. As I said brainless or deliberate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said brainless or deliberate. Should have reported it. It’s classed as driving without due care and attention which carries points and a fine if you got reg number 1 hour ago, WalkleyIan said: friend of mine got stuck for 2/12 hours going down to Wickes from Walkley.
