Supermarkets should compensate us for their road works

I'm right tetchy at the moment must be the countdown to my holiday.
Staying in the UK this year, sunny Cornwall, some bass fishing and maybe a lucky turbot to cook in the holiday apartment. Oh, okay then, flat

Oh, and a long drive in a Honda CRV which will no doubt fill the swear box as I do battle with on leave toilet roll sales managers in their BMW diesels following the American highway code.
Anyway, when I get back work will have started on a 16 week project to give a new supermarket an entrance road. They will be paying for it, of course.
And so will those of us stuck in the gridlock that will be caused or facing diversions via some lad's back garden and the allotments near Giro Bank.
What I say is that rather than just pay for the road works superstores should compensate drivers who have their lives disrupted. Perhaps they should hand out vouchers along the queues.
No, I'm serious. We have a perfectly servicible road junction here which is going to be turned in chaos corner so that a private retail company can make vast profits. Give us something back.
Every little helps
