CHIDEOCK: Protests on holdPROTESTS in Chideock have been suspended for eight weeks following a public meeting on Friday of last week. Residents met with the West Dorset District and Dorset County Council, the Highways Agency and Dorset Police to discuss the issues raised by protestors. People at the meeting voted in favour of stopping larger lorries using the route and against vehicles speeding through the village but also voted against the protestor’s methods. Lead campaigner Tony Fuller said: “I was very pleased indeed with the results of the meeting. We have made a lot of process but this is a long war and this was just a smaller battle.” The protests are suspended while a solution is sought but campaigners have asked for weekly updates from authorities. Protests may have come to an enforced stop anyway as both buttons on the pedestrian crossing used by protestors have been super glued down. Mr Fuller added: “Whoever it was that super glued the button on the crossing is an idiot. They have affected the lives of many people and made that a very dangerous crossing.” CommentsAdd new commentReturn to news headlines | |||||||||||||||

IF Mr fuller had kept his nose out in the first place,there would not have been such a drop in the property market,plus,he could shop in the village instead of being banned!
BUT the main thing being,this is what happens when you buy a house near ANY main road.We live beside a trunk road,A35 in fact,and we dont have a problem.Quite frankly the road has been there a long time,unlike Mr Fuller.Simples,if you don't like it go back to where you were before,perhaps you could cause chaos there instead of lovely dorset.
