Having experienced many of the problems in re-routing a large volume of cars, vans and trucks of gigantic sizes around the back-roads of Kenilworth for a week, would it be too much to hope that the 'organisers' and police get together to consider improvements to make life a little easier during the next half-year?

Severn Trent Water replies: Severn Trent Water can assure you that we are working with Warwickshire County Council, Kenilworth town council, community leaders and the police to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum.

Here are a few items which warrant consideration:

l Indicate on the 'diversion' signs whether it takes traffic 'north' and away from town, or if the route is designed to bring traffic back 'south' once it has arrived at a suitable northerly point. There have been instances of many motorists who, not knowing the area, have followed the signs only to find themselves back at where they started when they really wanted to get away from Kenilworth and to the true north.

Severn Trent Water signage has been agreed and approved by Warwickshire County Council highways department; any changes must come as a direct instruction from them. They are reviewing the signage constantly and will ask Severn Trent to make any revisions they see fit. Our diversion signage is to divert people around the works, not around the town.

l It was stated that parking would be restricted on a number of roads, including Whateley's Drive. This was so for a day or two, but for no longer. Surely police cones should be utilised on all such roads to ensure a constant free flow of traffic in both directions.

Parking restrictions again have been agreed and approved by Warwickshire County Council. Any revisions will be instructed by them and we know they are reviewing the situation constantly. Yellow lines have been put down in the affected areas to ensure a flow of traffic is maintained.

All residents on roads affected by the diversion signs should be asked to avoid road parking to facilitate the free flow of traffic. The council officials and police involved should make routine checks on the 'effectiveness' of the routes, particularly in regard to the heavy goods vehicles pounding up-and-down these 'B' roads and then turning 90-degrees onto an even smaller roads en-route to their destination.

Many surfaces will experience serious damage during the course of time:how can these be repaired when traffic is flowing for 24 hours and there is no alternative route? Any issues on the condition of the road should be referred to Warwick District Council.
