I live on Main Road Wyre Piddle and would gladly offer a night in my house to any Fladbury resident who is upset about the road closure.

My bed literally shakes when a lorry goes past.

OK so the large vehicles will use the bypass but I also have to wait minutes to get across the road to my car and that is mainly cars and that won't stop when the bypass is opened.

All we want is a quiet village - perhaps something like Fladbury with a car every 10 minutes!

As for the increase in property prices I could almost hear those Parish Counsellors stamping their feet.

What a sad crowd they must be to think that that was our motivation.

They have been assured that their emergency services and the bus service won't suffer so back off and let us enjoy our 'quiet' village in peace.
