Contact me

Hello! I'm Chris. I run this website. You can contact me using this form. It's always nice to hear from you.

Before you start, the answers to all the most common questions are in the FAQ, and for anything else, you'll find the SABRE forums will provide you with an answer more reliably and more quickly than I can.

I don't have the time to reply to all the emails I receive, but I reply to as many as I can. But please don't get the wrong idea! I'm actually very friendly and your email is more than welcome.

The small print

Here are some things I can't help you with.

  • I am not the government, your local council or Highways England.
  • I am not a highway engineer or a civil engineer.
  • I am not able to advise you on anything to do with traffic law.
  • I don't have official information about the road network. (For traffic counts, precise location of roadside assets, and anything else of that nature, I can only direct you to the Department for Transport.)
  • I'm not going to give you a job.
  • I can't help you get a speed limit, road classification or parking restriction changed.
  • I can't explain to you why a specific speed limit, road classification or parking restriction exists.
  • I can't help you get a parking ticket or speeding fine overturned, or offer you any advice about them.
If your feedback is used on the site, you may be credited by name. Tick the box if you'd prefer to remain anonymous.

The Heads of the Valleys

The A465 Heads of the Valleys Road is one of the most spectacular trunk roads in the UK, and building it required some of the most remarkable civil engineering. This is the story of how the road was built in the 1960s, and how it's being rebuilt today.
