READERS have called for a new layout and drivers to re-take tests in response to a busy retail park's entrance and exit being called a nightmare.

Blackpole Retail Park is one of the busiest retail parks in Worcester, with businesses such as Mcdonald's, Marks and Spencer, Pets at Home, Costa, Greggs, Halfords, and Currys PC World.

A local driving instructor and a city councillor highlighted that the retail park has issues with the entrance/exit, and the owners of the retail park said that they plan to make changes to the current layout.

Worcester News readers have been weighing in on the story, posting their comments on our Facebook site.

Sheila English said: "I never go there at the weekend if I can help it. It is too stressful, full stop."

Stuart Bayliss suggested that a one-way system needs to be implemented.

He said: "There needs to be one way in and one way out."

A spokesperson from Legal and General Investment Management, which owns the site, said: "We will be replacing all current road markings with a straight-through road from the main entrance, re-marking the crossings and adding speed bumps to slow traffic down on approach from all four directions.

"Work will take place throughout May. We hope the changes will resolve the current confusion and we will keep this under review."

Despite the plans to change, many commenters said that it was not the layout and instead the quality of driving.

Mandy Bowkett said: "It is just bad driving. The road markings are quite clear there, if only they’d read them."

Ruth Bayer said: "Maybe these people need to take their test again. Give way to the right people it is simple."

Dave Harford shared the same opinion as Ruth, saying: "If people can’t drive in and out of here, please give your licence back."

Currently, those entering and exiting the retail park are advised to 'slow' their vehicles in case there is already a vehicle exiting in front of them.

Drivers exiting from both left and right within the retail park are also advised to 'stop' by large lettering on the road.

There are also pedestrian crossings across all directions and a yellow box to prevent people from waiting in all directions.
