Andy Smith started the forum topic Where is Mark Pritchard MP? in the group Telford Chat: Anyone seen or heard from Mark Pritchard MP recently? His website if full of saving Indian churches and asking the Royal Mint to knock up some special coins to celebrate the 350th year of the Book of Common Prayer, but precious little else of local interest. Does he even hold local surgeries any more? David [...]

zulu posted on the forum topic Pedestrians in Madeley in the group Telford Chat: Have seen a couple of close calls to date. Two problems are the selfish (or from what I have seen the rather overweight lazy sods) that park on the road, rather than the two car parks, behind tesco or at the church, and the lack of a proper crossing. The road becomes a bottle neck [...]

Andy Smith started the forum topic The success of the M6 toll road in the group Motoring and Transport: It's been reported recently that the M6 toll road has been a failure. Failed to reduce congestion substantially and failed to make the private owners a profit. This might be a failure for Midland Expressway Limited (ultimately owned by an Australian conern) the M6 Toll Road owners, but for the British tax payer, not so. [...]

Emma posted on the forum topic Pedestrians in Madeley in the group Telford Chat: The WORST place for this is Madeley I think is the one at Tescos cause standing in the side of the road the actual tescos store is on, as a pedestrian you can't see around the corner to your right so how the hell are cars meant to!?!! I work at the tescos and have [...]

Well, there's an unconfirmed rumour that the person who came off in this incident suffered two broken arms:

bachrun posted on the forum topic Turning off the lights in Telford in the group Telford Chat: I'm all for dimming/turning off some of the lights, depending on the area/road. A lot of the main roads can have the lights turned off. There's a ridiculous amount of background light around with all the street lights, so getting rid of some of it sounds like a good idea really - dimming the lights [...]

Andy Smith started the forum topic That dreaded income tax letter in the group Telford Chat: I heard a guy on the radio (did a lot of driving today!) had a demand for 11k hit the letterbox today. A civil servant so they had all his details. It's a bit shoddy isn't it. Apparently, they are trying to claw back £2bn and will have to refund £1.8bn. I wonder if they [...]

Andy Smith started the forum topic Turning off the lights in Telford in the group Telford Chat: Some councils are turning off or dimming street lights to save cash and (yawn) cut carbon emissions. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11209143 Do you think we should consider this in Telford? I heard an interview with a guy from a Somerset council on the radio today and he said residents were consulted and it had no effect on crime [...]

hagar posted an update in the group Motoring and Transport: Well, it finally happened - just got a letter from the Camera Safety partnership - pay £60.00 and get 3 penalty points, or pay £60.00 for some education at TTC - I think a visit to TTC is on the cards. The site at Priorslee was the one that got me.
