Have you experienced a 'near miss' moment and how do you feel when you need to cross the road? Your views are important and need to be known by the Parish Council, the Devizes Area Board and eventually Wiltshire Council if any improvements are to be made. Please discuss the issue with your neighbours.

Manchester Roads Crisis
When you ask your Labour councillors in Manchester if potholes can be fixed they will tell you that they don't have the money because of government cuts, and yet £18 million of money set aside to repair our roads went unspent last year. That's not cuts, it's incompetence. Manchester Council today announced the next phase of Manchester's highways investment but completely failed to admit that their mismanagement of our city means nearly £18m has been wiped from this year's spending.

Give the people the final say on Brexit.
National campaign group Best for Britain and Manchester's Opposition Liberal Democrats, are calling on the City Council to pass an official policy motion in support of a the final say on the Brexit deal. In the referendum in 2016 Manchester voted by a large majority to remain in the European Union, and with thousands of jobs in the City under threat, and EU Grants that have helped rebuild the city no longer available, Manchester will be much worse off out under any Brexit deal.

A Well-Attended Open Day at Tring Fire Station
Tring Fire Station held a well-attended Open Day last Saturday, 4th August, 2018. However, during that time they had to send both engines out - one to deal with an electrical fire in Berkhamsted and the second to a separate incident elsewhere. Both despatches were handled with speed and efficiency and the first engine returned only just after the second had left. The Open Day was able to proceed without interruption with at least one engine present for the visitors to examine for most of the day.
