West Bar roundabout

[Stannington Lad]

Don't know about how anyone else feels about it but the new West Bar roundabout is a real pain.  The bus can hardly get around it without riding the curb.  It's telling me that traffic is not wanted there heading down to Derek Dooley Way from Tenter Street. I get the impression people are going to be forced down Netherthorpe Road from the Brook Hill Roundabout

Been signed that way since October 22 at least.

I go through that most days and think they’ve done a decent job.

 

not an easy job that with all the traffic management involved, difficult access and loads of other big construction jobs going on in the area.

 

think they’ve done well.
