Transport for London have said that the Hammersmith flyover (A4) will remain closed in both directions for urgent structural repairs. The damage has been caused by water leaking into the structure, including salt water due to de‑icing salt laid during the winter months, which has corroded and weakened the cables that help support the flyover.

Safety is our top priority and we are working flat out, including inside the structure, to assess the damage and put in place a solution that will enable us to open the flyover as soon as possible and to identify the best long‑term solution.

Local traffic diversions are currently in place, along with Variable Messaging Signs and traffic signal plans are being developed to reduce disruption and ease traffic flow however if you drive in London, you are strongly advised to avoid the area and seek alternative routes.

We are working hard to complete the essential repairs. For live traffic news and advice please visit tfl.gov.uk/roadusers

There are plans to roll out 4g mobile coverage to large parts of the UK – Click here for more info.

Since 2nd December Orange has had little or no coverage on both 2g and 3g in the Weymouth area.  They have taken a mast ‘down’ and coverage will remain in this patchy state until atleast 12th December!.

As Weymouth will host the Olympic sailing events next year rather than get 4g it might be better to get what we have stable and working!!!

FairFuel Uk have issued the following reminder –

 

The UK Government is still on track to put up fuel duty in January 2012 and August 2012.  These rises will add 33p per gallon to the already massive cost of petrol and diesel.

If you are angry and upset by the high cost of petrol and diesel please do the following two things for us as soon as you can:

 

1. If you haven’t already done so, go to this link http://action.fairfueluk.com/debateNov15, put your postcode in and then follow the instructions to send an email to your MP urging them to attend a major debate in Parliament next Tuesday 15th November on this vital issue.  If they don’t know how upset and angry we are about this issue, they may not attend.

 

2. Please just tweet on to everyone you know urging them to use the link above and then pass it on to all their contacts.

We need thousands of people to press their MPs on this issue.  The Chamber of the House of Commons needs to be packed with MPs next Tuesday who are in no doubt about the suffering being caused by high petrol and diesel prices.

 

We need your help to do this…

Thanks again for all your support in the fight for lower petrol and diesel prices

Very kind regards
