Confusing Signs

The sign that went up yesterday saying that Over Road will be closed from 13 October is confusing. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE WHOLE ROAD WILL BE CLOSED!
As I mentioned, the contractors are getting on extremely well with the Longstanton bypass and next week will be ready to start work on the last section where the bypass crosses the Over Road. So traffic will, for a short while, be diverted around Longstanton, the B1050 to the end of the bypass and then along the northern section back to the junction with Ramper Road. This work will take about four weeks and by the end of November the entire bypass will be open. I am sure it will be a huge relief for everyone in Longstanton and regular users of the B1050.

Are we being overlooked in Over? We seem to be getting the rough end of the deal over these roadworks with road closures on two of the three roads into the village at the same time!

I can cope with the confusing signs, can cope with the change of right-of-way (just about), continue to hope that Over road gets a new, level surface, or even that we get a new stretch of road from the Ramper Road Roundabout on the new bypass to the first bend on Over road heading toward the village, but soon something is going to give and I will run out of patience.

Surely I am not alone on this? When are the residents of Over going to have something done to improve our links?
