Hi Paul
Thanks for your comments. I called the council this morning to report the problem. What concerns me particularly is that there is not management of the diversion whatsoever.
On my very short walk to the station this morning I saw two motorbikes drive over the path, in opposite directions. Last night on my way home I saw one argument between drivers who were refusing to move (and to be fair, didn't really have anywhere to go). A one way diversion may work on Devonshire Road, with two way traffic it is ridiculous not to have traffic lights or a traffic officer monitoring the situation.

Could you please raise this with the highways staff as if the diversion continues much longer, I would think we will either have an accident or a 'road rage' incident.

Thanks.
