TRAFFIC calming measures on Whalley Old Road, in Little Harwood, Blackburn, have been just a waste of time and money.

The speed cushions that have been laid are about as effective as chocolate teapots.

A kerb, which was lowered for mobility use, flooded as soon as it rained and is now marked up to be dug up again.

The cheap plastic reflector bollards set in the Tarmac are easily moved about and will soon be snapped off by some bright spark.

Already, someone has pulled off a piece of the red reflector.

I was told before roadworks began that the people at the town hall knew what they were doing.

You could have fooled me.
