http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/10716826.Demand_for_talks_to_solve_Weymouth_s_under_fire_traffic_system/?action=success Demand for talks to solve Weymouth's under-fire traffic system A public meeting is being "actively considered" by the Council. This will, (if it ever takes place), be followed by a "working group" to consider the problems. The next stage would presumably be a "report" to be discussed by the Council members and amended for further discussion. The wheel goes around and around. Scrap the lights and the spaghetti of painted white lines on the road surfaces. These junctions are both confusing and dangerous. The intersections should be controlled by roundabout's as previously. There is no need for discussions which will only lead to Council prevarication and delay.

Campers pitch tent at foot of unstable cliff Less than 24 hours after a substantial landslide at nearby East Cliff, West Bay, about 1 mile further along the beach from where this photograph was taken, and less than 2 miles from the spot where holidaymaker Charlotte Blackman, 22, was killed by a landslide on Freshwater beach, just over a year ago on July 24, 2012, these idiots pitch their tent right beneath a cliff overhang. The warning signs are clear and along this stretch of the "Jurassic Coast" particularly here, the signs are large and numerous as there have been a significant number of cliff falls over some months since last year. Whether it is apathy, ignorance or just plain stupidity it is beyond belief that someone could behave in a most negligent fashion. One of the occupants of this tent was apparently no mor...
http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/10561263.Work_plan_sparks_road_chaos_fears_in_Weymouth/ IT IS feared new roadworks in Weymouth will mean traffic chaos as schools close for the summer. Traffic queuing at Boot Hill We can always rely on the "authorities" sending people to their stores to drag out the cones, temporary traffic lights, wheel barrows, diggers, dumpers, shovels and associated paraphernalia, over the months of June, July and August. True, there are road works at other times of the year, but it always seems that the summer months, when holiday traffic is at its heaviest, roads are naturally congested, and tempers are at their shortest the "lets dig up that section of road now" brigade comes into its own. It is not only Weymouth that suffers from this phenomenon.

Now the gas companies have been granted licenses for fracking beneath huge parts of Dorset and Hampshire. The 150ft long, 6ft deep crack appeared on cliffs near Bowleaze Cove, Weymouth landslide near Durdle Door landslide at West Bay Fracking has been linked with groundwater contamination and toxic air around sites, and in Lancashire, fracking was blamed for causing small earthquakes. As usual, the old "thousands of jobs could be created" chestnut has been trotted out to justify another of mans assaults on the environment.
