Speaking in Parliament on the 16th of December 2009 about motorway works in his constituency Labour MP David Winnick said
"Residents were given no proper notification that the work was going to take place. ... All that happened was that some advertisements were placed in the regional press that residents were unlikely to see."
The expensive newspaper adverts are clearly not working. There is an opportunity here to both save a large amount of money and significantly improve communication.
