LAST Thursday morning I had to go to West Swindon.

At approximately 9.11am I went across Cirencester Way and found it gridlocked from the Transfer Bridges all the way to the Bruce Street Bridges.

The now two-lane working was down to one lane by the bridges, hence the gridlock.

I informed the lead member for the council, Mr Heenan, who told me that at 9.05am the same morning, he got from Tescos to the North Star complex in less than five minutes.

Has anybody else done this magical trip in the same short time?
