There are discussions going on between Town Centre Events and Newbury Sound, to promote Newbury Christmas Shopping as a whole. Sadly not on the scale I need, but a step in the right direction ? |

Same old, same old then, which is not much. Why do traders put up with it? |

Perhaps they are too busy earning their £4k a year or something? |

As you may know, our CCTV control room is being moved elsewhere. There are approx 100 cameras in our area. The new control room does not has the capability to run them all so approx 75 of our cameras are being turned off permanently. This is something that W.B.C. have been keeping very quiet about, a/ because of public outrage, and b/ because some companies paid section 106 money to install many of them to start with.
It is perhaps not surprising therefore that they are reluctant to fit extra.
Threep.
Totally shocking !  On a slightly different (and brighter note) the Roadworks are now on the bridge and have freed up ALL of the Parking Bays in Bartholomew Street. Now all we need is the Public to KNOW it's business as usual. |

 Spoke to Newbury Sound about it, but I too give the NWN a miss - too depressing ! |

Total gridlock in Bartholomew Street at 9.00am this morning. The lack of supervision of these cowboy contractors is unbelievable. Why are they allowed to totally block this busy junction with huge lorries during the rush hour? |

The lights were out of synch. So the cowboys were actually trying to direct the traffic. Impatient drivers who were hell bent on forcing their way through were the problem. The large truck outside the old opticians wasn't blocking anything. |

Out of synch? Don't you mean out of order? The lights were permanently on red for traffic leaving town. |
