At last - Improvements to Doncaster Road

31 January 2010 by Paul Rhoades

The junction on Doncaster road with Avenue Vivian is to be replaced finally with a set of traffic lights! Isn't it amazing to see the local council finally spending some money on sensible road improvements instead of that shambles of a cycle crossing they've just spent countless thousands restricting and slowing down road users due to just one or two councilors love of the push iron. The reported �150,000 improvement scheme will take 1 month to complete and will begin in mid February. Now the local council has started making real improvements, how about: Traffic lights or a roundabout on the Chancel Road Messingham Road junction, another area of town where bottlenecks and frustrated drivers lead to collisions and near misses all the time. Roundabout or lights at the bottom of West Common Lane and Scotter Road to reduce peak congestion of traffic leaving or going to the college. Perhaps the thing Scunthorpe needs most - a new motor way junction to ease congestion and take all the traffic from football Tescos out of town, on the M181 and back in at Messingham Road or Scotter Road flyovers? Ideally in our new green economy, the council should be looking at encouraging us to leave the car at home by introducing cheep or better still free, clean, regular and reliable public transport. Currently its quicker for me to walk in to town from where I live, than it is to wait on average 20 mins for a bus to take me half way round Scunthorpe in to town.
