Drivel From Devizes - Dateline Sunday 26th January 2020


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.
