    I wonder if the council will do some rapid road resurfacing like they did for the pope.

    Thanks for the map MV.

    Highlights that I should really have linked to the previous days schedule too:

    Looks like the torch will be going through CCE-Central.

    It's going nearly past our flat!!! Actually along the road at the top - just a couple of minutes walk. I'm quite excited... :o)

    This is starting to 'hot up' now! ('scuse the pun!).
    Look out for chaos on City streets on 13th and 14th June!
    I believe the torch has to have a kip overnight in the City Centre, 'cos it gets tired and goes out like a light! ('scuse the pun!). If you are looking for infrastructure improvements, forget it, as all the money went to London for the last 10 years to build some sort of community sports complex!
