That was the patch of ground in the park that the contractors couldn't get grassed over properly. This old photograph was when they employed a bunch of guys in big boots to tread the surface down after the new environmentally friendly grass turf had been laid. |

Threep, your cameraman needs to get into Newbury Town Centre today, where WBC have closed off Wharf Street and Bartholomew Street and are trying to replace the cracked surface in the Market Place in front of all of the market stalls. The market traders are livid and the taxi drivers in the Wharf are upset because they can't get out of the Wharf because of a long queue of traffic tailing back to Parkway. Stand by for further justification of this incompetence from user23 |

The market boys can take some consolation from the probability that by 2.00pm, they will have packed up and finished for the day. That was certainly the situation for the last 2 Saturdays in Bridge Street and Bartholomew Street. They will be doing another half day tomorrow. |

Brilliant !
Not really. Some nice shots of Donington Castle ( blighted by the rather well locally supported by pass ) shots of temporary road signs ( you know there one day gone the next ) and some unpopular rhetoric. Not brilliant at all. |

somebody was a little tired at 2:45am!!! I think it sums it up quite well, what on the video is rhetoric as opposed to fact? |

Great advert for Newbury isn't it. Pretty much every town will have a load of roadworks going on now as they tend to get them all out the way in November so they can keep the roads as clear as they can during December. This will stay on YouTube throughout December I suspect and serve as a deterrent for people to come and shop here. A "Brilliant" way of cutting traders profits over the Christmas period.  |

unpopular rhetoric.
Unpopular for some, but others have enjoyed it, so I would say opinion is at least split. |

The use of diversion signs to imply the town has been ruined. |

I think the implication is that ruination is work in progress, however; how can pictures be classed as rhetoric? |
