Residents and business owners describe the chaos caused by the current roadworks in the county town.

Taylor Wimpey - who are responsible for the roadworks on the A34 roundabout and installed those temporary traffic lights 7 years-ago - say it's sorry for the disruption and is holding a public information event on the roadworks later this month.

Staffordshire County Council鈥檚 cabinet member for strategic highways, Mark Deaville said:
鈥淚 fully understand the frustration these road improvements are causing and apologise for the inconvenience to drivers.
鈥淥ur residents have told us that the quality of Staffordshire鈥檚 roads is a priority to them, as it is to us. Unfortunately, carrying out these works often causes delays, for which we are very sorry, but it is essential we fix our roads in a timely manner. We always review how we could better manage works in the future.
鈥淭he main works around the town are seeing over 拢16 million investment in the town鈥檚 road network, bringing long-term and lasting improvements for years to come and unfortunately in this case need to be carried out now due to funding and planning requirements.鈥�
