WE motorists are a very selfish lot – get anywhere as quickly as possible if not even quicker!

Do we want Northam Bridge to fall down? From what I’ve read, the repairs are pretty vital, however annoying it is for us sitting fuming in our cosy little cars.

For motorists, as all householders know, repairs have to be done. Left, things get worse and the costs go up and up. And if Mr Smith were in charge, the need would be the same, but of course as he is a bit of a ‘superman’ he could do it overnight.

We motorists should give some serious thought to how we can reduce our journeys. It would be good for us, personally, and very good for our lovely city.
