You have broken traffic on the Queens Road. You're going to kill the Science Park and the film studio. Remove the bus lanes from there as they are not needed. I expect a response or a resolution.

Intense trouble makers for ordinary citizens trying to go about their everyday business. Rush hour now will be rush 3 hours trying to get out or in of the city centre, doing away with lanes at busy junctions. Utter crap way to attempt to bring a city into C21. Well done morons.

I don’t know why you felt it necessary to start drilling and banging at a man hole after midnight on a Sunday night waking up our children in a residential area! Disgrace

I don’t know what you people are smoking over there, and who thought this was a good idea. But 1 of you take a drive out round where these 12 hour bus lanes are at rush hour and honestly come back to me telling me why you still think it’s a good idea.
