Very clear and comprehensive
Very clear and comprehensive thanks. The news today is that it’s been re-opened – but as I look out the window this morning, I wonder for how long.
As regards non-compliance with the road closure, there’s a “don’t drive / live in an area that floods, then” brewing inside me.

Everyone down to Totnes in
Everyone down to Totnes in the next few weeks – roadworks making Fore Street pedestrianised. By the way, the big old road closure in Brixham, the one that’s going to kill off the town, started this week.
Nigel added: “I’m not particularly in favour of pedestrianisation. I’m in favour of traffic management and calming measures. People park near our shop, come and shop with us and traders nearby and get back in their car…”
Hmm, I’ve never been a trader, but all this reliance on super easy/ fast turnover car access? I guess for some products, location is really important – like ice cream. But I if you are offering something really good, not available on-line, people will come.

Here’s the Reach version – I think of some poor nightshift reporter in some regional newsroom trying to find some happening in the south-west to write about, he even starts a live blog which rapidly peters-out.
