I AM visiting family in the area for the first time in many years and as a road traffic engineer myself, they’ve taken me round Northwich to look at all the development which I have to say is very impressive.

However, I have one major reservation.

My cousin explained the plans for the roundabout at the head of Chesterway and I have to tell you my life’s experience tells me the proposals will gridlock the town.

It has sufficient size and capacity to entertain a free flow system and I truly believe multi sets of lights will prove highly detrimental to the flow of traffic.

Practical experiences and many studies have proven my views - you have been warned Northwich.
