    You get free prescriptions! It costs me £104 a year, I want compensation!

    You already have more than enough compensation.

    You don't live in Scotland.

    Are you going to pay the council for the time saved on your commute in once the road improvement works have been completed?

    Nice try OP

    Are you fairly new to commuting ?

    After 25 years plus, I can tell you there is always something slowing Manchester down.

    The theory with roadworks is short term pain for long term gain although really its more like ongoing repeated pain to stop the infrastructure completely melting down. The gain is never clear cut.
