Tackling Turvey Traffic Trouble!
A number of residents have approached me or approached the Council to highlight how a large amount of cars and lorriess are sent through Turvey and onwards on the A428 unnecessarily due to long-standing unhelpful and unsuitable signage. Drivers heading for the M1 northbound from Bedford and Bromham on the A428 have been directed to continue along the A428, rather than to take the quicker and more appropriate route to the M1 on the A422. Understandably, residents of Turvey have raised concerns about the unnecessary extra traffic this generates through their village. As we've shown with our anti-street clutter campaign which has seen over 100 unnecessary signs removed across the Borough, we are not prepared to accept unhelpful or illogical road signage and we have moved to change the signs.

Clarkson and Illegal Immigration
Last Saturday British TV presenter, newspaper columnist and "humourist" author, Jeremy Clarkson, made another of his now "infamous" comments in his Sun column. He has prided himself on being outspoken, politically incorrect and controversial. Previously he had said that 'public sector workers who went on strike in November should be "executed in front of their families"' on BBC's One Show. The latest 'joke' was regarding synchronised swimming and comparing the spectacle of the sport to Chinese Morecambe Bay cockle pickers (where at least 21 Chinese cockle pickers died in 2004 when they were caught in the rising tide at Bolton-le-Sands near Morecambe, Lancashire, when they were working illegally for a gangmaster.

Wiltshire Broadband scheme goes out to tender
Wiltshire Council has allocated £16million to enhance broadband provision in the county and the government has chipped in with a further £4.7m. However the price of the government support is a high level of bureaucracy and increased risk with Wiltshire being expected to support Swindon and South Gloucestershire as they progress their schemes.
