The news from Exeter traders
The news from Exeter traders is to good today: Justine must furious with all the drivers not carrying anything causing all this traffic:
Despite living less than half a mile away from her shop Hyde and Seek on Paul Street, Justine Hyde drove to work last week when she had to drop off some chairs. But instead of the two-minute journey she would normally expect, she found herself sitting in traffic for an hour.

Elderly man sentenced
Elderly man sentenced following serious crash in Ringwood
In April 2023 a Mercedes C-Class crashed into a car before ploughing through a brick wall on Horton Road.
Malcolm Lomas, 90 was arrested and charged with causing serious injury by careless / inconsiderate driving.
A woman from Southampton was left with life-changing injuries as a result of the crash.
Lomas was also sentenced to pay £5,018 and is banned from driving until he takes another test – seriously??

Clearly someone didn’t respect his authoritaaa! 😉
“After a two-hour long meeting, the panel voted 9-2 to resolve that the majority of the panel supported the introduction of the charges but was “concerned about the impact of the proposals on local businesses, community clubs, community groups, and residents.”
The panel called on the executive to develop mitigations to address these impacts. Mr Cannifor said: “I’m happy to make these considerations. […] That seems very reasonable.” so maybe Mr Cannifor (who hails from Scotland for the sake of this joke) can afford to make some concessions to hard-working drivers?
Gonna say it again, other headlines in the North Somerset Times suggest that times sure is hard for the Council, but they’ve cobbled together £400k from 2024/25 budgets to undo the Clevedon seafront changes.

It’s sooo unfair: Man’s anger
It’s sooo unfair: Man’s anger after getting Colchester Hospital parking fine
https://www.gazette-news.co.uk/news/24716639.mans-anger-getting-colchester-hospital-parking-fine/
As always, I have mixed feelings about the parkcos, not least at a hospital, but characters like this (see picture) are a good reason to pass the issue on to them to manage.
Next up
Man from Ash, near Canterbury, gets £100 parking fine after 15-minute stop to collect ill mum from Charlton Shopping Centre in Dover
He added: “Since both of the appeals have been rejected, our next step is to potentially take this matter to court.
I assume there are charges here for blue badge parking (for once a legitimate holder and usage), our man refers to them – can’t find anything online to confirm what they are.
The point of principle for me is drivers making up their own rules and indeed sticking to this when it’s pointed out when there are actual rules. If no one backs down, this will presumably find its way to a court so I’m happy for him to tell it to the judge.
