I see that the IW Coroner has described the IW Council as having a 'cavalier attitude to road safety' at the inquest into the death of a Pan resident in Newport last January. Predictably they deny this description, but the evidence is building against them. The fact that the relevant pedestrian crossing was out of action for nearly 5 months is quite disgraceful. Tie that in with their failure to spend available capital monies on road surface safety treatment last year (see my many previous posts here) and you begin to get a worrying picture. A decent Council would have apologised to the family as well as send condolences. It's not a lot to ask, is it ?
On that note I am signing off now for a couple of weeks whilst I have a much needed break. Back in mid-July.

Geoff,
You should know that the Council have to deny responsibility - if they accepted it was their fault they would be open to a claim for damages.
Anyway, have a good holiday - as you say, well earned.
Quite right.. And of course the poor man did step out in front of a bus.
Perhaps when you get back your beloved leader Tony Blair will have apologised to the families of servicemen and women killed in his Iraq war? Don't hold your breath Geoff, enjoy your holiday.
Has anonymous 9.22 built a tine machine? Is it Dr Who? Fess up!
You forgot TB already? Surely not, the Labour party aint forgot John Major yet, it was all his fault you know.. Oh how they love reminding us of how it was in 1997 or even 1989
Duh - Geoff's beloved leader isn't TB, it's GB. Geoff didn't follow TB even when he was the leader - and he hasn't been for 12 months now, or has word not reached some parts of the Island?
Geoffs possibly not so keen on GB now either, but that's for another day!
