PERCEIVED DANGERS?
Well heres another moan about roads and danger. some folk dont seem to "CONNECT" the two but here we go…
In the local rag recently it was announced that it was unlikely that a slip-road will be made at the junction on the A35 at Eype, on the "bypass", which I’m sure most would agree is BAD NEWS!
PARKING PALAVER
It’s Bridport Town Council who’ve kicked parking into touch ……..
It’s recently come to light that it is Bridport Town Council, and not the District Council, who is to blame for rejecting the opportunity of extra car parking in the town centre. It seems that the often used excuse by the town council of things being decided by the District Council just doesn’t hold up to the facts of this matter.

TAX FREE BRIDPORT
Relaxed gambling laws, cheaper beer and fags, banks with high interest rates, no import/export restrictions, no more silly town councils, in fact, no more silly local government at all! Let us picture it for one moment; The rural charm of West Dorset, the cosmopolitan edge of Dubai, the class of Monaco, the lack of road laws of The Isle of Man, the lifestyle of the rich for ALL! The transference of all public services to private, local companies, creating employment and producing a better service.
The Cayman Islands, Dubai, Monaco…the list goes on. Why not start a campaign to make Bridport & Westbay a tax haven?

TRAFFIC CALMING USERS GUIDE
Ever attempted to travel up or down Skilling Hill Road in anything other than a pair of roller skates? Doesn’t it make you wonder how those “traffic calming measures” actually calm traffic? On the face of it, this veritable Krypton Factor of a road has done nothing but force traffic uncontrollably over kerbs right on the doorstep of a busy primary school. The leisure centre on the other hand can suffer because, quite frankly, if you are going to walk/jog to and from leisure centres then you’re digging an early grave anyhow.
