which bit of "CEC Highways is actually privatised" didn't you get?

Unfortunately Cec don't know what planning means.
We've had both Mill st and Edleston Rd with temporary traffic lights at the same time causing chaos and now they go close a couple side roads same time.
Cec are the cause of the Weston Rd fiasco by not making sure proper diversion signs were in proper places.
Yes an inept and worse council this town as ever had.

as any business person should know, it's all about empires - and fighting to save yours. Different people run different projects and will never show their hands to others. The shambles over the cycle path nobody asked for (except the CEC officers who found a way to boost CVs) follows on from the shambles of teh link atthe end of High St (same people). But potholes is someobody else - not even in CEC because CEC Highways is actually privatised, this is the dreaded Ringways Jacobs. And if it were Utilities work we'd need a bigger page to list who might be running it. All the road works permits go through one department but a few months ago CEC had a peer review of how highways are managed and whilst it said the RJ contract was generally OK (based on national standard of mediocrity) the permits office needed sorting out. Little sign of that happening!!
