JK Rowling has earned the ire of neighbours after gardening works to her Edinburgh home led to a road closure - causing some children to be late for school, their parents claim.
She didn't personally demand the road be closed, did she? No, Reader, of course she didn't.
The Harry Potter creator, 59, has required access to the road next to her £2.2million home to be restricted for up to a week as the leylandii hedge is cut back. The trimming, which occurs roughly every three years, has led to temporary four-way traffic lights outside the author's house in an affluent suburb of the city, The Times reports. Sections of the road will be closed while workers use a cherry-picker.
And the council demand that in order to do so, the road must be closed.
One parent said: 'Why can't they do it in the February breaks? They have hours through the day when the roads are quiet.
'No-one else gets the street shut down to cut their hedge.'
Yes, they would, if a cherry picker was required to do so.
I don't see a closed road. I see one lane closed with the other lane being controlled by traffic lights.
ReplyDeleteI see no huge tail backs. I see maybe a dozen cars waiting.
You can't win with such people, if a branch fell on someone's head they would be complaining about that.

ReplyDeleteMaybe the photo wasn't taken in rush hour?

Oh, of course!
