National parks are places of outstanding beauty. I can assure you Skelmersdale is not.
By waste of land, I mean the place was built using several times more land than was needed for the relatively low population, but some clever fool with government money decide they'd build a bunch of small ghettos separated by large roundabouts.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoSounds miserable. I was imagining a bucolic wonderland of natural beauty, with birds nesting and ancient oaks over shady glens. My local town is in the process of sticking 'roundabouts' everywhere. Mayor visited someplace and liked them; he's pushing them on us now. Sometimes its just a dumb island in the middle of an intersection; you have to crank around it at microscopic speed which benefits no one. The worst one has two lanes halfway around; one lane the rest of the way. From the south you can take the right lane and exit north without turning (much). But nobody understands the point; everybody stops and creeps around. So they put up a map(!) so you can figure it out. And 13 arrows and warning signs. All in the interest of 'efficiency'
