Open, more tomorrow

If you live or work on or around Storeforth Lane it looks like a difficult afternoon/ I don’t know when.

It’s currently closed from the bridge upto the Doctors.

There’s signs for it moving up the hill so if you a picking a child up from the schools in Hasland set off early and avoid Storeforth Lane.

What’s the point of signs with the wrong date.
Not helpful for us or anyone else.

Did anyone else know they were starting today?
