The plan is an indicative ‘idea’ of what the Relief Road/Bypass may look like. The project if and when it happens is a number of years away.
My thanks to Mr. Hodson for allowing me to use his work.

Getting critisized for nearly everything I am involved in – I am used to it – it is very rare for anything complementary – but there we are –
so I have already had some negative feedback about the MVAS’s – Motor Vehicle Activated Signs – which display/record speed.
To make it realy crystal clear – ‘we’ Councillors did not decide the exact location of these MVAS –
The public who are complaining about speeding on their road(s) have asked for something to be done. Since the Police have very limited resources – like many area’s ‘we’ decided this may help, as the data can be downloaded and ‘if’ there is a speeding issue, the Council can put pressure on the Police to monitor. Now the exact location is a joint decision with Cambs Highways/Balfour Beaty
(who own the lamposts)…..some will never be happy – but this is the best we can do.
An e-mail just received from a resident on Church Street – The MVAS erected near my house worked very well when a car flew past me and it flashed red for them to slow down.
There are other MVAS to be fitted – Ramsey Road/Stonald Road/Coates to name a few.
To repeat – this was an instigated because The Public asked for something to be done.
This is NOT a SCAM… It is an article in The Express on 21st Nov – Even the savvy Martin Lewis is subjected to SCAMS
The most common Black Friday scams revealed – and how YOU can avoid them all
BLACK FRIDAY 2020 is fast approaching, and ahead of the major pre-Christmas shopping day bargain hunters need to be aware of common tricks callous crooks use.

When playing Video – there is a small cog wheel -click on this and you can change the quality settings – to HD & 4K – the footage is fantastic then on a full screen… Well done Jones Bros….
I’m pleased to tell you, the importing of material for section three, which is north of the railway, has finished for this phase. The activity is now focusing on constructing the embankment.
In section one, which is south of the railway, preparation works for the construction of the railway bridge and underpass, which will provide private access to Star Pit, are underway. The latest view of section one can be seen in the drone pictures.
If you haven’t seen the post, Jones Bros is actively recruiting for apprentices and if anyone is interested, they should call Garmon on 07787 100 757 or Holly on 07787 100 764.
I hope everyone is keeping safe and following the lockdown rules – we all need to drive down the COVID numbers together. Jones Bros is fully complying with all UK Government guidance as work continues

Back inSeptemberwe warned about a ‘Jury Service Summons Scam’. Well, thanks to one of our Facebook followers, we are now able to share an image of one such scam text. The text reads ‘You were summoned to Jury Duty by Post. You have not replied.
To avoid a fine, Please confirm attendance or opt out via:…’ and gives a link.
Remember a genuine summons for jury service would ask you to confirm whether or not you can attend and to explain your reasons for being unavailable.
Any message mentioning exchanging money should be ignored.
Most calls for jury service comes via post.
Not Me !!! – I know what day of the week it is….. Reports come in this morning, a lot of people in Town – is everyone on ‘essential business’ some twice a day…. I hope that the Stats below (which lag in time) start to show a ‘slow down’next week.

‘A Relief Road’ – ‘Bypass’ – ‘Distributor Road’ – Call it what you want’
Cllr Christ Boden, did a press release earlier this week – which caused a lot of chat and misinformation on local social media – concerning the funding ‘an inception study proposal’ – as quote “No one else will fund it” – After a rigorous debate all WTC Councillors voted to accept the proposal – so the consultants ‘Royal HaskoningDHV’ will now proceed and the results will probably come out in January 2021. The diagram below explains the ‘process’ that has to be followed….Stage 0A 4 years or 40 years – the fuse has been ignited……
