Rutland County Show 2011 Traffic Hell Photographs
Each year the organisers of the Rutland County Show tell us its the last year the event will be held at Burley on the Hill.
Each year the event gets bigger and each year the problems get worse.
This year a ridiculous one way system was put in place lots of drivers ignored it and abandoned. cars all over the green in Burley and the grass verges full of wildlife along both sides of the road to Ashwell.
Local residents found they could not leave Oakham by car.
There has been a lot of angry Twitter one example:
RT @M4ryLamont: I have come home to watch Moto GP poor @squidge1997 but I blame the knob that designed the 'new one way system' into Rutland Show
Drivers who ignored the one way route found they were turned back or diverted via Ashwell or they dumped their cars if they were attending the show with no consideration for the countryside.
Traffic leaving the showing wanting to join the A1 were sent into Oakham and out again along the Stamford Road.
At times the road was gridlocked even when the traffic
was using both lanes heading into Oakham
Not helped by the driver who ignored the
one way system and had to perform U turns

This man did wonderful job keeping the
traffic flowing and shouting the speeding drivers.
At times the road was gridlocked even when the traffic
was using both lanes heading into Oakham
Not helped by the driver who ignored the

The Road to Ashwell normally a very pleasant road to walk
There was a time when Leicestshire Constabulary would Police
this event cost cutting stopped this, last year the organisers
used a private security company, this year they used the
Military and the Lions?
