Speeding motorists clocked
Speeding motorists clocked near schools
Potentially fatal consequences were highlighted after a recent speed check caught over 100 drivers flouting the 30mph limit on a main Totton route.

Bristol Airport hike drop-off
Bristol Airport hike drop-off fees to eye-watering amount
So-called “kiss and fly” charges are even more expensive
RAC senior policy officer Rod Dennis expressed his frustration, stating: “It’s depressing, if perhaps unsurprising given what’s happened in the past, to see seven airports have hiked their drop-off charges once again this year. To have to pay £5, £6 or even £7 for the briefest of stops to simply open the boot and take some luggage out for a friend or loved one is bordering on the ridiculous.”

Thank-you. Funny how it’s always dropping something off to a charity shop isn’t it.
My favourite letter this week for rarified quaintness (something the Chron specialises in) is this one:
There was no attempt being made to control traffic, no temporary traffic lights, it was merely an accident waiting to happen, so I sought the telephone number of Winchester Police Station to report the matter.

Free parking at Somerset car
Free parking at Somerset car parks to end in controversial plans
Controversial plans being put to the public
At a council scrutiny panel in March, Shaun Hughes (Midsomer Norton North, Independent) said that Midsomer Norton did not have the same air quality problem as Bath. He added: “In Midsomer Norton, a lot of our residents can’t afford an electric car. They can’t afford the latest fuel efficient vehicles. Some of them have to drive a 20-year-old diesel Astra.
“They don’t want to; that’s what they have to drive to be able to get around to do their job — and you’re penalising them.”
Ms Rigby said: “A lot of people who are very low income have no vehicle whatsoever and they are breathing in other people’s pollution. I think it’s fair that we protect those people as well.”

PS I took the BANES parking charges survey – they seemed to assume you were a driver – actually they’re some way down the list, as they are with 20 mph consultations. I did wonder whether the system would prevent me from taking it repeatedly – drivers are obsessed enough to do this as I suspect has happened with Poole Park and 20 mph in Southampton. Then you never hear the last of it, of course.
Not sure the recent Trump
Not sure the recent Trump shooting incident is quite the clincher it’s being played as – like what new supporters does it bring? Sure, if you’re already frothing this will play into your narrative.
Another grim prospect for the world and not least isolated Brexit Britain is Trump 2025 – 4 years of the US at best flakey and inconsistent on foreign policy (e.g. western Europe/ NATO, Ukraine/ Taiwan) and wracked by internal conflict.
The US government’s job, so far as big business is concerned, is to provide them a suitable trading environment – what he appears to stand for doesn’t sound conducive to that.

And here’s your problem when you’ve founded your movement on hate and lies, it’s jolly hard to know what the rules actually are, and to make it more complicated still such rules as there may be are likely to be different to last week’s.

McColls is now Morrisons and the road has just come out of a roundabout and main shopping street.
