spare a thought this morning for all the Banwells up and down the land and not least those further along the A371
this, unusually, is the village pubbie : “We have had our pub sign hit, the lamp hit off.” He added: “They literally just crash into the building.” He said: “We can’t open in the day because there’s too many lorries and cars on the pavements, so people are too afraid to use the pavement.”
“It’s ridiculous we have got an A road going through a small village.
“I don’t know another village that’s as bad as this. We get abuse from the drivers.”

exhibit 4 – the view back to the curve from the recovery site – note the road sign. Looking back from here, there’s a green utilities box opposite, then a house with a SOLD sign and here on the ground there’s a Red Bull can, if you want to locate it.
As well as the location of the pot hole, the bits about four other stricken cars and the “rolled round the corner” having heard a bang don’t quite add up for me.

Driver’s fury as council
Driver’s fury as council rakes in almost £1 MILLION in fines from ‘bus gate’ in just eight months
“This is a cynical and calculated money-raising scam and targets innocent motorists”
have a read of of Mr Jumped-up Schrodinger’s driver, simultaneously knowing Stockport’s roads for 30 years, but not this bus gate…

PS If you’re new to this thread, part of why it is named the way it is is journalistic gems like this:
“A man has been left with potentially life-changing injuries after the car he was driving crashed into a house.”
