Deansway Driver Fears Traffic Chaos Over Wall Repair in Worcester

Hey, listen to this story from Worcester! Derek Newtown, who is 83, has concerns. He thinks upcoming wall repairs will create city traffic jams. This damaged wall is on Deansway. The wall’s state already caused some traffic problems.

The Worcestershire County Council told everyone about their repair plans. Newtown thinks repairing this old wall is a big problem. He worries how long the project could take. He believes road closures are likely during the rebuild.

The council says they will add scaffolding to stabilize the wall. They plan to revisit the lane closure soon. They want to reduce traffic issues. A closed sidewalk remains for now, sadly.

Adam Scott is a local councillor. He said the crash showed how closures cause backups. Even small problems make a big difference. Scott suggests people should walk or bike. He says this will help avoid disruption.

Lynn Denham and Scott haven’t heard wall concerns. People haven’t shared problems directly with them. The wall might belong to a house. The Cathedral is checking the ownership. Also, Liam Williams got charged with drunk driving. He is a police officer, age 20. He’s due in court soon. His court date is March 25th.
