Every main route seemed to be gridlocked about 9 am today...it surely can't of just been the weather and Newport Bridge being closed ??

Well there weren't as many people in work.never happened under the Tories.
Gosh, do people still drive to work?Well there weren't as many people in work.
Newport Bridge is closed for 7 weeks (started this week).
So my assumption is the A19 Southbound is busier than normal and the traffic is bottle-necking higher up than the usual place (Norton junction) and that is pushing people into Wolviston and Billingham to try and skirt around it.
Couple that with the wet weather and you have increased school run traffic, all making for a delicious mix of carnage.
Ironically, it wasn't as bad this morning, but I left the village later than I usually do so that may explain that one.
That's right.. no road repairsnever happened under the Tories.
