Spotted a Street-Scene and a walking Clipboard looking at the junction of Balls Road and Slatey Road (Oxton), I hope they aren't going to muck this junction up, seems to work reasonably well most of the time.
First thought that struck me was replacement with a mini-roundabout, if so, I am going into the tow-truck business.
Mini-roundabouts have a much reduced maintenance cost compare to traffic lights and the council are looking to save money.
They're probably going to put a 10 foot high speed bump in the middle of it, the cnuts.
THEY NEED TO WALK DOWN SLATEY ROAD AND TRY NOT TO FALL DOWN THE CRATERS IN THE X ROAD SURFACE
Once upon a time...about 40 years ago ?
"We wus taut to reed and rite", proper English.
But, I think, I get your drift...?
Scunt's ...(is that a rude word ? )appear to be in charge of the the rest of us .
DO NOT FORGET,
....we also pay,through PAYE, VAT, MOTOR TAX, COUNCIL RATES, TV LICENCE... etc,etc,etc...infinitum.. their wages and PENSIONS..which are inflation proofed !
We are looking through iron bars/Asylum.
Inmates are now outside,( you and me, as TAX PAYERS !)
against the "Freebies " who are too numerous to mention..your local Member of Parliament might be amongst many ?
Come in..smell the discontent !
Whats a Streets Scene and a clipboard? We dont see many of them in Wallasey, count yourself lucky! We just pay massive council tax for nothing!
There were two people - a guy with a hi-vis Street Scene jacket and another bloke in a suite with a clipboard hence ....
A Street-Scene and a WALKING Clipboard.
Sorry, I thought it irrelevant as to the detail so attempted a silly quip.
i thought your description was funny as well as apt!!! 'walking clipboard' especially. i hate 'clipboards' especially those who appear at the front door- they usually want money!!!!!
is this the forum were you [censored] council workers and talk about things you have no clue about

no it's the forum where we take the pee out of the council because they can't do jack s**t right but meh that's just me.
well perhaps if we didn't have so much ... trying to skrew the council tax payer for claims for non exsistent falls,we wouldn't have to rely on streetscene inspectors to carryout periodic inspections of the highway, and the fact that wirral has one of the Highest percentage for claim defence wins in the country perhaps shows that in fact the "streetscene" inspector is doing his job, as well as recieving well below inflation rises for at least a decade,And maybe when central government consistenly lowers the budget from year to year, and council tax rises lower than inflation their job gets a little or maybe you are all talking krap
Theres always something to point your finger at.
Highest council tax in the country anyone? (Bar London)
I remember when we first moved to the area just over 25 years ago, there wasn't even traffic lights at that junction, now that was fun!!

Especially when icy coming down from Bessborough Road.
I'm surprised there's not more accidents at those traffic lights, or perhaps there are plenty and i just don't know about them. As a regular user of those lights, it never ceases to amaze me how little knowledge drivers have when it comes to what is the correct lane to be in. If the authorities ever want to make a few bob, they only need to set themselves up there for a few hours and dish out tickets for dangerous driving, they would make a fortune.
