Listen to Radio Lancashire traffic and travel every morning and the same old message is repeated from 8am to 9am - 'expect delays on St Helens Road, Ormskirk on the approach to Edge Hill University'.

Here's why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aBu6WJnmXg

Our thanks to Gary McDonough for footage taken this morning.

"Outrageous! Video taken from my dash cam today," he said in an email to the busy QLocal news desk .

If only there was something like a railway station or bus station within walking distance of this university.

That is just crazy! Maybe they should cycle more!!!!

If only there was a back road ha ha they are not locals are they.

What makes it worse are the students who park their cars everywhere approaching the college,as the car parks are full by 7.45am,and are too small to cater for the amount of lecturers and students who drive to Edge Hill every day..There were meant to be by-laws in place to stop them from parking on the verges,but this appears to not have been implemented ? And they are building new student residences opposite the EHC which won't be helping the flow of traffic,with the amount of heavy vehicles getting on and off the work site...


Students would be better to use their cycles,but Lancashire Council have'nt put in any cycle lanes,unlike YKW putting them here there and everywhere around Southport
