  • stoke on trents newest road is set to open in the next couple of weeks and i thought id take the drone for one last look.
    The road links the A500 to Festival Park and is one of the biggest builds in Stoke on Trent which ive been keeping an eye on for the last 12 months at least.

      Thank you. I’ve heard that invites have gone out mid January to let people walk across the bridge before it opens. So looks like Jan sometime.

      Bloody hell, talk about dragging it out! It would have been great to have it open for Christmas!
      It'll be loads better when it's done. The retail park in Longton needs another point of ingress and egress as well... in 30+ years maybe we'll get it 😂

    More building more businesses more jobs more money into the local economy. This is what stoke needs. Generate our local city. Jobs to support families. Industy attracts more businesses to stoke. Just need to sort Whalleys quarry from that dangerous gas.

      We need to bring more manufacturing back into Stoke-on-Trent as well. We still make a lot of pottery but it's all done overseas!

      Stoke doesn't understand how to make buisness or money, it has hasn't got a fully functional city centre, or city nothing is in place no central train station or decent transport, no decent shops they all in Manchester or Birmingham, the success of decent city is to have all the facilities in one place not spread like universities colleges football stadiums and good night clubs, that's what's brings in money instead of 6 old fashioned six towns

      Hi mate, yes, it’s filmed just up the road, we’ve seen some of the celebrities knocking around over the years at a posh hotel they use near SeaWorld as either before or when they booted out. When the rain comes it really comes, but it’s easy to live with warm rain, as the wife and daughter will realise whilst visiting Stoke next week to see family 😆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
