Absolute chaos in the area for an hour or so. Plenty of "helpful" police and fireman saying where you could not go, no one saying where was open! At the A12 end of Gubbins Lane numerous police hanging about doing nothing, at the other end a single lollypop lady trying to manage the traffic and buses trying to do U turns. If this is "police efficiency" e can sack the lot to save money.
