DrunkenMonkey Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Slight change of topic but still about the DOI. Does anybody know what is going on with Tromode Road? Big plans proposed as early as 2021 but very little done on the road apart from a few pothole repairs and a new wall. It was in the news for a good few months about new cycle lanes, footpaths, access to the cricket club, etc. I can't see much difference.

Fred the shred Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I think a certain ex CM would have seven fits if the Peggy comes north of the border. Bonfire night ……Peggy sailing across the bay loaded with fireworks and at the end of the display a detonator gets put into play….now that would be a fitting end to a rowing boat which may have been used for smuggling. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are taking deposits now I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Poppins Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 The DOI seem to have either employed a stunt double of the former Director of Public Transport, or the DOI have re-enployed the former Director of Public Transport to drive horse trams. Said person was barreling along at 5mph this afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still trying to reconcile how Hartford are looking for £310k for a 3 bed terraced in Jurby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
