JUSTIN DUNN listed his top ten horror highways on Wirral and asked for your opinion on his selection. He was inundated with emails and letters from readers.

Here are just a small selection of your comments: I MOST whole-heartedly agree with your first two choices - St James and Arrowe Park. There was no real problem prior to the changes and both are inestimably worse since.

I can't help but think that the guy, or guys, who planned these two engineering disasters must have had a hand in the reorganisation of household waste tipping at Bidston, which is a further example of catastrophic planning by the local council. It was, prior to the re-organisation, necessary to queue at certain times of the weekend. Now one has to queue any time, any day.

Is it possible that an over-large planning department with too much money to spend simply invents work? And thus things that work have to be changed in order to spend the money?

Michael Hooker, via email.

I READ with equal measures of delight and despair your list of the 10 worst horrors in the May 31 edition of the Globe.

Delight, because I am clearly not alone in wondering what the half-wits who decide on these matters actually think they are achieving and, despair because there seems to be no end to the madness infecting the planners.

Your selection of the St. James' and Arrowe Park roundabouts', and the sad excuse for a bus lane on Borough Road are subjects all dear to my heart as examples of traffic management' at its most blindingly stupid.

In fairness, whilst the Arrowe Park scheme is a royal pain in the posterior during non-peak traffic by delaying movement compared to the old roundabout, I have found that at peak times it is usually an improvement.

My favourite, though, is Borough Road. At peak times, the queue backing along Borough Road from the Balls Road junction is frequently long enough to block access to the bus lane for the very vehicles it is intended to assist. Rough justice eh!!

How much better if the council actually showed the same amount of interest in, and spent the same resources on addressing the state of our crumbling highways? Although I am a resident of the Ellesmere Port and Neston Borough, my business is based in Birkenhead and on a wet and dull November morning last year, driving to work along the B5151 (Willaston to Clatterbridge road), I dropped my two inside wheels into, not so much a pot-hole as an open mine shaft, resulting in terminal damage to two wheels and tyres - replacement cost over £1,000.

I have to say that I agree with you nearly one hundred percent. I say nearly because you didn't include those stupid traffic lights at the bottom of Kelvin Road in Wallasey. You are lucky if it allows three cars through at any one time with the result that there are tailbacks.

I would dearly love to know who actually makes the decisions regarding these changes. In other words, name names! It is true that places such as St James's and Arrowe Park were not ideal but to suggest that these lights have improved things is a joke. It is not a joke really because it could cause problems for the emergency services as we have seen.

You may wish to take this further and ask why there is such a problem with parking? I live on the edge of a residents parking area but am not subjected to it so cars will park in my road and surrounding areas causing all kinds of problems. The answer to this is very easy. Only apply residents parking restrictions during evenings and weekends. Of course this will not generate income to our beloved council and that will never do, will it?

I for one am sick to death of being treated like a moron by this council. All they do is take, take and take without giving a damn about the people they are supposed to be serving.

Pay your way by all means but to rip off your own is a disgrace.

Alan Clay, Park Street, Wallasey Great article but you missed the glaring anomily of the Wallasey roundabouts'.

Nationally, the rule of thumb is give way to traffic already on the roundabout'. Visitors to New Brighton coming off the M53 and approaching Kings Parade are met by the first island, which is normal, but the second one at the junction of Harrison Drive and Kings Parade throws up a give way marking on the island. Going right towards New Brighton the next two islands have the same anomaly giving right of way to the entering' traffic, bur take care, stranger, as the next one reverts to the national rule.

Logic? I think not.

Onward to the Leasowe Road/Wallasey Village island. Here, once again, we have the Wallasey Rule.

Traffic from Leasowe Road is met by a second give way as it journeys towards Liscard round the island. This spot has had many a near miss, some I have witnessed and many more by the staff in the Halifax shop on the corner of St John's Road.

I do not know if there have been any accidents here but time will tell. Two problems result from this set up.

The first is the congestion caused to traffic entering from Leasowe Road and northbound on Wallasey Village, as the majority of motorists using this island are local and know the setup, so approach from the Grove Road end of Wallasey Village.

As they know they have right of way on the island they can approach it faster than normal.

As they know they have right of way on the island they can approach it faster than normal, with the resultant high speed of traffic passing in front of St. Mary's College, which is another noted safety hazard.

Just had to write about Arrowe Park roundabout. For months we have had to suffer delays because of this change, I believe it was supposed to finish in April but I am not sure what year.

It is a farce, delays are worse, there are too many traffic lights, motorists are confused, traffic lines at times start at Champions Factory. Early morning traffic from Pensby is just as bad if not worse.

Who is the "Genius" who decided to take away a roundabout and put traffic lights. Is he or she held responsible for such a waste of money and inconvenience caused to so many people for so long.

Surely there are better things to spend council tax money on.

Brian Short, Heswall Have you ever imagined travelling to work without any hold ups, no traffic jams, and enjoying narrow country lanes?

Have you ever imagined using the roads and never being frustrated, Never having to pays tolls, and never having to pay for parking?

Just think the next time you are snarling at a traffic jam ....if you were riding a motorcycle or scooter you wouldn't be ...(snarling).

But don't just take my word for it come and see me and borrow a scooter or motorcycle (depending on your licence) for week and see for yourself.

MY PET hate is Meols Railway Bridge. You only need one car turning right at the station and the traffic is backing up for miles.
