THE Conservative group has written to Highways England to note its total dissatisfaction and frustration with the A36. In a letter to Neil Winter, Highways England route manager, the group has highlighted two issues in particular: The lack of any meaningful progress on the Southampton Road walkway/cycle lane improvements, and the potentially life-threatening consequences of the traffic light outage on St Mark’s Roundabout. The A36 cycle scheme has experienced some delays due to unforeseen service lines, meaning the pavements had to be hand dug using specialist equipment and the current plan is to reopen the cycleway at the end of June.
St Mark s roundabout. Picture by Spencer Mulholland THE traffic lights at St Mark s roundabout will be out of action for a few more weeks. The lights were switched off following damaged caused by the on-going resurfacing work, and the repair work is to be undertaken in the coming weeks , say Highways England. The Conservatives say a Wiltshire Council officer has explained to them that the traffic light outage, caused by a contractor accidentally damaging the ducts and power cables connecting the lights, would only be repaired in months, not weeks, while also noting that the roundabout is not suitable for operation without traffic lights .

The government claims the international student arrivals would not impact the quota for returning Australians, which will continue to be housed in cramped city medi-hotels:
South Australian Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier said the quarantine site at Parafield Airport would be reserved for international students because of the way it was set up.
Professor Spurrier said students were used to “unit-style” accommodation, while international arrivals were not.
