00:00Hi I'm Theo with Manchester World and I'm out in Manchester today asking people about roadworks.
00:04This is the UK's biggest ever week for roadworks and we want to know how it's impacting people
00:08getting to and from work. No not really I'm Egyptian I know the roads from Egypt compared
00:13to here so like obviously even if they're in a bad state they get fixed a lot quicker so
00:19no I'm fine with the roads. Fair enough. And all I see is roadworks everywhere so
00:24here I couldn't tell you back home I think that I'm from Devon way so they're kind of
00:29they're doing better with the potholes but you still drive for quite a few roads where your car
00:33is sideways. I don't know I recently I get the bus in from Gorton every day and they were redoing
00:39the tram near Piccadilly and that like really for a whole month messed up me getting to like work it
00:45took so much longer I had to walk past Piccadilly to get to the bus stop so that was a bit annoying.
00:50I do know like a few people have complained about you know trains being delayed or buses
00:56being late or just maybe like transportation being cancelled in general.
