A SOMERSET council intends to borrow up to £4.7m for a new “throughabout” which will unlock new housing and ease traffic between Bridgwater and the M5. Sedgemoor District Council is seeking to make improvements to the Dunball roundabout near junction 23, in order to bring forward more than 1,300 homes in the Bridgwater area and deliver new employment sites. After a failed bid to the government’s housing infrastructure fund (HIF), the council has decided to push forward by borrowing the money itself, paying it back through contributions from future developments. The project will take inspiration from the Yeovil western corridor improvements, with the entire roundabout being re-designed as a “throughabout” complete with traffic lights.

warn rer the progressive rock stars bringing the party leftward. i think what anthony weiner did in that mayoral race was actually a fairly significant. and we ll see that next year. buts is not clear to me why i took votes from christine quinn. he took momentum. he took momentum from everybody. i don t think he had a political effect. i think he just took a huge amount of attention. and it moved away. i think bill deblass yoe won. i still believe that the public service is a noble calling. these politicians behave badly. and clearly in the case of bob filmer mayor of san diego. 18 women? at one point i m like, dude, move on. move away. we don t want to pay for your therapy. but they get a sense of entitlement, arrogance of power.
