IT seems the circus is in town. I assume this is why a clown is in charge of the road works at the top of Park Road, Timperley and the A56?

To make the left lane left turn only and reduce the traffic to one lane Altrincham bound is ludicrous before opening the planned widening of the road.

The slapstick comedy of painting the new road markings before opening the new wider section of road is hilarious.

The ensuing traffic chaos is probably best negotiated on a unicycle, which is obviously fine for some clowns but sometimes the rest of us need to use a car to get to work.
