The Police have been training a select group of residents in Chideock to use Gatsos. Issue there being is that theres a protest group in Chideock attempting to get the A35 down-rated to a B road and traffic restricted. Giving them the ability to sit with a speed gun and wax lyrical about the need for the road to be down-rated. Not the greatest plan in the world, especially when you let vigilante group get involved. ~Dan -- Next meeting: Bournemouth?
