Drivel From Devizes: Dateline – Sunday 26th January 2020
Here is our weekly
round-up of events from D-Town:
1. Health
chiefs in D-Town are keeping a watching brief in light of the outbreak in
Trowvegas of TWAT (Trowvegas Workers’ Acquired Toxin). The town has now been placed under lock-down,
the movement of tractors restricted to night-time, and ugly people compelled to
wear face-masks. The latter has less to
do with disease control, than an excuse to improve the visual look of the town.
2. And
a decision is expected this week on the future of the HS2 (Hard Springs 2)
project. More than £20 has already been
spent on fitting the 49 bus-route vehicles with harder springs, but the remaining
project is widely expected to take much longer, and to cost much more, than
originally budgeted. Business leaders in
Swindon have lobbied D-Town Council to complete the project before their part
of the North becomes even further cut off than it is now. A local councillor was heard to mutter that
such an argument was an incentive NOT to complete the project.
