Yesterday I missed the January planning meeting because of traffic on the A23 — a crash near Pyecombe which, according to Southern Counties Radio this morning, involved five cars. Hopefully everyone will be okay.
Apologies, then, to anyone who missed me or who might have relied upon my vote!
Surely this is an indication of the dire state of the transport infrastructure around Brighton. Sort it out please Government.
But the thing that has motivated me to post in this era of non-committed parties with illiberal policies where they should be liberal and liberal policies where they should be conservative, is this from the BBC: Tories plan ‘work for benefits’ .
As the person who sent me an email pointing out the story said “Finally, a Tory party we can be proud of?”
Bearing in mind that my comments here are before reading the full proposal, but it gave me goosebumps!
Update BBC’s Have Your Say is suffering from traffic. This could be for one of two reasons: People are angry and want to disagree; People are delighted and want to show their support for common sense at last.
You know what I think.

I sold my car because of the traffic problems.

Update: A planning application about which I would have had to declare a prejudicial interest went the way that I would have wanted it to go (regardless of any prejudice about the location of the application, I believe it would have been wrong to allow it)…. which is good news.
