We know that roadworks can be frustrating, especially when you have had a long day and just want to get home.

Add to this being told it is just for a few days and they are still there weeks later, the anger starts to mount.

However, the work being done at the junction of Union Street, Station Street and Guild Street is vital and involves gas leaks so the job needs to be done thoroughly before the road can be returned to normal.

Four-way traffic lights at a busy junction in the town centre are never fun but this work is vital and there is no way around it.

So we would ask people to please be patient while they fix the leaks; getting stuck in traffic a little longer is a better alternative than having issues from gas leaks.
