Stourport shennagians take two

The death-trap steps are still closed off and the tops of scaffolding protruded above the wall. I couldn't see the spiral steps, but the Areley side steps were also blocked off with a van parked next to them; more work on the bridge perhaps?

On a previous topic I've just had a word with one of the council departments and they'll have a look at that wall on the Toll House. It has just been blocked off at the end and as there are no doors along the house wall it's a meaningless dead-end.

On a more interesting note something's going on at Bufton's market (the old, old indoor market) in that the boards covering the window holes have come down. If some type of renovation is going on there that'll really help the appearance of down-town Stourport.

I don't know if someone's playing with the crossing lights in Bridge Street, but driving out of Stourport it went red, beep, stop beep, yellow, green; all in a matter of seconds (coming round the corner as it went red I barely came to a halt before it changed). On the other hand coming back into Stourport we had red, beep, stop beep for a count of 10 potatoes, yellow, green. Just one pedestrian crossing each time with only a bit of extra traffic approaching the town exit in the second case.

Widening the field and we get metal thefts as mentioned on the Shuttle. I know as a fact there have been multiple thefts on the estate including flashing from a row of buildings and only this week two manhole covers; I also have it on good authority that someone tried to nick some exterior metal from our new M&Co in town the one with the CCTV camera sitting outside it.
