@WWUtilities @GlosRoads Thanks for the update.

[Oliver Smith @OliverJSmith]

Hi @wwutilities @glosroads. Can someone please confirm whether or not these emergency works with road closure in #Stroud are ongoing? There was no longer a Road Closed Ahead sign above Ryeleaze today, so I'm guessing it might be finished?

@alfiemoore True Grauniad style.

Out of step, and out of touch with the country.
Read the room, guys.

@WWUtilities @GlosRoads @StroudTimes @stroudnews Hello @wwutilities?

[Oliver Smith @OliverJSmith]

Traffic lights on the over-run works on London Road at #Brimscombe #Stroud are out of action. The incompetence of @WWUtilities seems to have no bounds. @GlosRoads there's nothing on https://t.co/XkwZw9p64d after the previous notice expired in February. @StroudTimes @stroudnews

[Oliver Smith @OliverJSmith]

Works by @WWUtilities at Brimscombe are still ongoing today, and look set to continue into March. Why was this piece - repeated in @StroudTimes so inaccurate?

Are these traffic lights supposed to be manually controlled during peak periods? Seems sporadic when I come through.

[Oliver Smith @OliverJSmith]

@WWUtilities @GlosRoads @StroudTimes @stroudnews 5. You say you are working as quickly as you can, yet I rarely see any sign of action; what are the working hours on site?

[Oliver Smith @OliverJSmith]

@JonathanPieNews It's a peculiar medical condition, probably related to bone spurs.

[Oliver Smith @OliverJSmith]

I wonder if any Bristol Airport spotters fancy an early start tomorrow to capture this air ambulance C-GBSW on arrival ETA 0728 Tuesday 3/3? Would be keen to see any pictures.

[Oliver Smith @OliverJSmith]

@WWUtilities @GlosRoads @StroudTimes @stroudnews When you say month end, you mean we might have to put up with another 4 weeks of this shambles?

[Oliver Smith @OliverJSmith]

@WWUtilities @GlosRoads @StroudTimes @stroudnews Afternoon. They weren't manned this morning ~ 0745 - the lights were off - turned around at the Stroud end, and blank at the Chalford, nobody working in sight. Massive queues ensued.

At least one day last week they weren't manned at ~0750. Somebody's being taken for a ride!
