Hi Adam, last time I went through one, it was held on the A338, Spur Road, Left home at the normal time, no warnings on the radio and as soon as I got on the road at the Cooper Dean, I saw it was blocked. Turn off at the airport or stay on, decided to stay on as the roads get grid locked if you try and get round any other way.
After an hour, went up the hill to the roundabout, the census was in the layby, didnt stop me, apart from the hour of stop start.
Next day they had moved it to Horton Rd, the one straight across the roundabout, got pulled in, and for the first time, lost my cool with the poor guy, where have you come from? Bournemouth, Post Code? I dont wont to give it, where are you going? private business. Not like me and I know he was only doing his job, but!!!
The hold up on the Spur Road made the local Echo headlines, with many complaints. We know they need to have the information but someone counting the cars, in and out would give the same results.
