I WOULD like to express my delight to whoever on the council has come up with the excellent idea of slowing down drivers on our roads.

The people behind the scheme of neglecting our roads, allowing them to become riddled with holes, bumps and dips should give themselves a well deserved pat on the back.

You can hardly drive on some of them now. It's great for making you slow down to a crawl and some of the holes and bumps are unavoidable. Well done!

Why go to Alton Towers when you can get the same effect in your car travelling to work?

In fact, sometimes when I arrive at my destination I have white knuckles from the ride.
