Most motorists enjoy a good moan and groan about overnight road closures but the situation becomes a bit more serious if businesses are considering moving because of them.
Closures are never ideal and can cause hassle for commuters, as well as people attending social events or taking children to clubs and groups, especially with the often early start times of 7pm and 8pm.
But the cumulative impact of multiple closures on companies that frequently use the road must be immense and we hope transport chiefs take this into consideration for future roadworks.
