Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 26th July 2015
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. Train
and passenger services through the Bromham Tunnel were disrupted for long
periods this week when there was increased activity from illegal immigrants at
the Seend end of the tunnel. Police put “Operation
Stack” into force, involving parking several Seend-bound tractors being parked
along the lane. New security measures
have been announced that will involve building a new secure compound on Seend
High Street to prevent people desperate to get to Bromham from hijacking cars
to smuggle themselves into the village.
2. Today
sees the culmination of the great cycle race “Tour de Wiltshire”, with the
peloton of riders entering the village in the final procession stage up the
High Street. Bromham’s own Chris Parsnip
will be wearing the leader’s traditional yellow farmer’s smock. During the race angry people in other
villages have pelted him with a selection of root crops. Asked if he was angry about the rough
treatment Chris replied that he was simply looking forward to a mixed vegetable
stir-fry for his tea.
3.

details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
