Phoney mast fails to trick Brickhill residents
T-Mobile are seeking retrospective planning permission for a telephone mast in Kimbolton Road which is bigger than they had permission to erect and which they have put up in the wrong place. The mast was refused planning permission by the Borough Council but allowed on appeal by a government inspector. However T Mobile have put the mast in the wrong place, in spite of being repeatedly warned even when they were erecting the mast that they were about 2 metres out.

Wootton Roadworks Farce 'Beggars Belief'
Residents in Wootton have been left fuming after the County Council's road contractor left road maintenance works unfinished after striking two water mains, one of which continued to spew out water over a week after being burst. The works on Potters Cross remain incomplete despite the legal notice for the works stating that they would be finished by July 7th. The legal notice for the works also stated that the entire road would be resurfaced, when in fact just a few metres have been repaired.

Further Update on St Mary's Street Works
I know how anxious residents and businesses are for the major roadworks to reconstruct St Mary's Street to be completed as soon as possible, so I am pleased to report that work is progressing well. Those who have been using the road heading south will have noticed that the first section has been completed, with the single line of traffic now moved over to the newly reconstructed left hand side of the road (the surface work is not complete here; the whole road will be resurfaced together towards the end of the works period next month.) Work is now underway on the northbound side of the road, which is being excavated.
