A road to nowhere, for how much longer?





As far as I can recall this road was built at least 10 years ago and never used as it has been blocked of both ends despite one being on a roundaboutat other end, just a few yards away, joins to the housing estate in North Swindon and onto Thamesdown Drive.



Although I applaud the council for putting down concrete blocks to prevent unwanted travelers, it has blocked off frustrated would be users. Does this road appear as open on Sat Navs??
A  pavement on the northern side only, must be the widest in town, has recently had an upgrade adding smart tarmac bases around the lampposts.  When is the grand opening what is it's name?

The nearby path (which should be a bridleway by the way)  at Charmind Walk has some nice smart rectangular tarmac at intervals on one side for what seats to admire the view!!? 
The path is going to be well used as it ends at some scenic muddy fields.


! 

On another matter please see the bus stop on the Street, positioned right on the bend, why not put it in the lay-by?Not so long back the bus stop after 25 years had a tarmac addition and dropped kerb this would have less costly if  it was sited in the lay-by.

If anyone has any further details on these follies or others please comment.
