Letter: Welshpool one-way system is working. What, seriously?

Letter: I obviously live in a parallel universe to Welshpool Town Council when they say, and I quote from the Shropshire Star, "The one-way system is working perfectly" .

As I move about Welshpool, going to meetings, shopping, anywhere people congregate and chat, the main topic of conversation is how much longer it has taken them to arrive, and what a pain in the neck the system is.

I have yet to meet anyone who is happy with it.

Disabled people were amazed to find pavements blocked with road signs to do with the one-way system, so that they had to drop down on to the busy road in order to carry on. Who planned that?

Was any planning done at all?

Guilsfield people say it's easier to hop on the bus to Oswestry to shop than come into Welshpool.

A tour company which usually picks us up by the Tourist Office rang to say it must now pick up at Four Crosses.

This was because it has a timetable to keep to.

I hope Tesco has paid the town enough to compensate.
