“Accelerate out of danger” – one of my fave phrases – a bit like saying “stuff we import will get cheaper if we make it harder to import it.”

Villagers fear being ‘trapped
Villagers fear being ‘trapped in homes’ during major roadworks
We haven’t had a trapped in our homes story for a while:
“It’s a nightmarish thought as there are around 350 residents’ cars that need to use the diversion, quite apart from delivery, service and emergency vehicles. Many of us are afraid of being trapped in our homes or facing unmanageable traffic problems,” said Mrs Hibberd. “We are sick with worry.”

Exact date when Paignton’s
Exact date when Paignton’s ring road will open again
A reminder from the article of the belly-aching when this started: “When work began on the road, businesses in Brixham warned that they were going to be “cut off” for the duration of the project, and local schools and colleges said their students would face long delays getting to and from their studies”
From what I can see, Brixham seems to have survived, and it hasn’t been the Seige of Paris 1870-71 after all.
Open in time for Easter, BTW.

Clarkson’s Farm TV series
Clarkson’s Farm TV series ‘misleading’, says West Oxfordshire District Council
Thie farm’s dealings with the local authority sounds suitably knockabout and chaotic. Er , yes Mr spokesman, I don’t think people want an hour of your planning meeting:
“In a statement, a WODC spokesperson said: “The planning meeting shown in Clarkson’s Farm ran for well over an hour but was covered in a matter of minutes in the show”.

4,000 – 4,000 holes in
4,000 – 4,000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire was the answer we were looking for. So it’s a rollover for our two tickets to the Diddley Squat farm shop/ not at all a theme park.
Visitors have the choice from our collection of farm experiences of receiving a death threat or being punched by the man himself.

Ah nuts! Comments closed as a result almost certainly due to mad driver posters – AGAIN!

£2.50 to park after 6 pm.
I’m old enough to remember when £2.50 really would have got you 2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps – can you get anything to drink in a pub for that much now?Oh, don’t tell me the cost will be met from delaying buying that replacement tyre for the one that’s on 1.8mm, or that brake disc with the amber advisory.
Wow, Mr Jones, imagine people getting things they need locally, rather than driving into Truro for them:
Cornwall Council’s proposed car park increases ‘will have serious impact’ on Truro
BID manager writes: “Obviously our nighttime economy and leisure sectors may see a decline in customer numbers once those customers will have to pay for late afternoon / evening parking.”
Mr Jones added: “Truro’s footfall data year to date versus 2019 is tracking at -27% therefore we need to be encouraging our customers into the city centre and not potentially providing a further barrier of increasing the car park charges which may see customers choosing to shop micro local in their own villages / towns rather than popping into Truro”

drivers bemoaning the absence of parking meters – say whaaaat
Ah yes, this will be the ones who are all perfectly safe to drive Cornwall’s narrow lanes, but “Lots of confused and frustrated older customers calling in [the] shop asking what is happening with it as they either don’t have a smart phone or are confused by multiple apps and longwinded payments.”
