Just a warning that Station Street is closed today. It's not on the council list of closures, so I don't know why it is close or for how long. The road closures in this area are getting a bit tiresome.

Think it's water related. Overflowing drain or some such. No doubt someone will come on here and tell us soon.

Someone told me today that the water board people had found a large bed sheet blocking the drains, when they investigated.

The queue into Rotten Row stretched right along Grange Road this morning until nearly 10.00.

With only 3 routes to get from the south side of town to the high street, this sort of chaos is inevitable when one of them is out of action.
Maybe the council should build a bleddy great flyover. We'll need it when they've built all those houses at North Street.

When there is disruption of this level , with a bit of thought (not much required ) and planning just turn St. Andrews lane round the other way , I was told it would be finished by today but having just come up the high street I see it's not

Just walked down there. Both the Patisserie and the hairdressers next door have been evacuated - and there's a big hole in the pavement right under the Patisserie. Could be closed for a while, methinks.
