Ok so Nibley Lane is closed again, presumably for cleaning thanks to those who do not wish to live in a 'green and pleasent land'
Ofcourse safety for the operatives must be paramount and closing the road is understandable but please site the 'road closed' sign to give traffic from South Yate an earlier warning.
It is currently placed after the rail bridge, not giving drivers who wish to turn right, time to make an alternative manoeuvre
If only promises had been kept and the 'road to nowhere' had been completed we would not be having this `blog!!

I agree........ Open up the road to nowhere and Build a bridge across the railway line and closing Nibley Lane becomes irrelavant plus 50% of Station Rd congestion disappears overnight as people in South Yate will have a proper route in and out of Yate bypassing Station Rd

Sorry, I really don't get the point of your reply. 'Would probably cost too much'.......you have nothing to base that claim on. I suggest that as a lot of the construction work has already been undertaken then the opening up of this route would in fact be a very cost effective way of reducing grid-lock in Yate Town Centre and along Westerleigh Rd and Station Rd.
Of course South Glos council would rather spend £millions to build temples in honour of its own magnificence than spend money actually addressing real problems that blight ordinary peoples lives.
'Would probably move the problem elsewhere'......again that statement is lazy. The problem exists, now, today, tomorrow and for the forseeable future in Yate centre and along all roads in and out of town. Opening this route would go a long way to alleviate the problem of traffic congestion in Yate and there is absolutely no case to argue to the contrary.

Every single car journey out of South Yate has to either go into the town centre or out along Westerleigh Rd or Nibley Lane . Opening up this route would take thousands of cars out of Yate centre , Station Rd and Nibley Lane and have a knock on effect of improving traffic along Goose Green Way ( because of the extra room created on Station Rd)

Of course the council wont ever complete the road to nowhere a) because now it is home to a few dozen rabbits and a couple of dwarf oaks, what the ignoramus's who run our town will attempt to portray as a nature reserve and b) because they can't afford these projects because they have mismanaged our finances for years.

Futher to my blog 'Closure of Nibley Lane' and my remarks on the Road to nowhere.

I am very pleased there are like minded folk who like me feel strongly about this.

To our readers especially new residents who might like to Google 'myyate.co.uk' and read the Yate Community Plan dated 2008. A vision for 2028.

I quote from (19) Consideration should be given to COMPLETING the road to nowhere which would have BENEFICIAL EFFECTS FOR THE REST OF YATE.
