Carrs Road Closure
17th August 2025
About ten days ago a council sign appeared on the lamp post opposite our house.
It told us that our road would be closed from, and I quote, from its junction with Rose Mount Street, to its junction with May Deane. This caused a lot of confusion, nobody seems to have heard of Rose Mount Street or May Deane.
I asked one of our counsellors (apparently, we need three of them), she sent me a copy of the original road closure request. It said the local water company wanted to close the road between Rose Mount and May Dene (note the change of spelling). A bit of research shows that Rose Mount and May Dene are house names. No wonder we couldn’t find the location of the closure.
The sign was created by the local council’s legal department. That’s very worrying. They also managed to misspell May Dene! Questions have been asked.
To be continued.
