Fowey pedestrianisation plan
Fowey pedestrianisation plan would ‘imprison residents in their own homes’ between June and August
“You can’t make people hostages in their own homes during the hours of 11am to 4pm; life doesn’t work like that,” a comment read.
Wait for it People still need supermarket deliveries, wait for it access to properties, disabled and elderly people there it is! need access to drop items to their homes, care in the community need access at all times.”

one here that didn’t make the article: URGENT Please please withdraw this proposal immediately. Unless you do so there will be very unpleasant comments directed at the individuals behind it. Fowey is a small place and the repercussions of this will last a long while. Withdraw, apologise and we can all move on.

Instant ‘not everyone can use a bus’ from this driver; funny how they’re always good to drive:
“Many other members of the community hit back to remind Mr Hooper that there is a free Park and Ride service, designed to reduce the amount of traffic overflow in the hospital car parks and offer an alternative solution to driving into the hospital directly. However, “not everybody can use it”, says Mr Hooper.
“If you’re someone who’s physically disabled, or perhaps you’re frail and require assistance to get on and off buses, the Park and Ride isn’t a viable option – it’s simply not available for every single person who uses the hospital.”
He admitted he wasn’t previously aware of the Park and Ride service, but stated that “there were lots of others who didn’t seem to know about it either”.

‘Fowey is a working town, not a model village for tourists,’ a resident commented. Meanwhile, residents are being reassured that these are just ideas which are not ‘set in stone’

van gets stuck on notorious Devon tidal road
It eventually took a tractor to rescue the van which had fallen off the road
Andrew (man in a Land Rover) told DevonLive: “I’ve used [Aveton Gifford tidal road] a few times but I’ve never caught the tide so I wanted to go through it when it was a bit deeper to test my vehicle out.
He continued “I even got my ‘phone out while driving to take a picture – how neat is that?”My poor little uninsured, unregistered cyclist brain gets fried by this sort of thing – doom and gloom everywhere about the cost of living, etc, but Andrew is going do the driving equivalent of putting your hand on the hot plate to test it…

The idea of there being a Swaffham CID appealed to me, a kind of Hot Fuzz setup.
“Anyone with any information should contact Swaffham CID on 101 quoting incident 475 of yesterday’s date (August 16)”
are there really 475 matters referred to Swaffham CID by 8 pm?

[quote=chrisonatrike]Yeah, in a different world we’d be better at separating the sheep from goats for diversion to effective social service / mental health support early doors. Or – if we want to run a more individualistic model (like US) – just lock people up (or allow citizens to do DIY law and order). However it seems we’re falling between those stools, at least when it comes to the roads.[/quote
You mean like do a high-speed reverse up the road with a view to “getting” a cyclist?
