    A lot of people seem to assume that heading straight over toward Tesco is “turning right” so go into the right lane and indicate.

    However when I was learning to drive I was told not to do this, and stay in the left lane as if it is straight ahead. This seems correct to me now but not when first learning.

    Definitely! Those trying to get out of Holt Road on the Tesco roundabout are often beeped at by those not indicating they are coming right around the roundabout!

    Eagles Meadow should have a parking validation scheme. I know the O2 store does it as there were signs saying so, but all the EM shops should do it.

    Buy something in a shop there or use the Cinema or Bowling and you can get your parking refunded.

    The council’s PDF download function has always been broken, corrupting the PDFs. They need to update the system.

    It’s not even a full re-doubling as far as I can tell. I think a couple of structures, such as the bridge over the A483 by Gresford are built for single only, and so will remain as such there.

    Unless there is some fundamental flaw the planning department finds, certainly any rejected application would just be amended and amended until it goes through?

    And if it is rejected without proper cause they would probably appeal, and if that fails, they’d appeal to the WAG.

    I’d be surprised if it isn’t a done deal, even if the timescale is not.

    I believe, there is a Welsh Oyster card in the works actually. Buses first, trains a few years later.

    Will make it easier for certain.

    The MoJ will surely submit everything they deem necessary in the application. There was even talk of ensuring 700 jobs are earmarked local in a clause?

    Besides, qualified prison guards aren’t a common thing, perhaps we will see some migration from North Yorkshire where they are closing North Allerton?

    Arriva is owned by DB, the German state owned rail operator, and yes they run most bus routes too.

    All they’d need is to ensure machines are put in at every station that take coins, cash and card.

    Then there’s no excuse for anyone to get on the train without paying.

    I notice there’s a lot of leaflet racks around with local and not so local attractions featured, do you have any that could also fill them?

    Also I wonder how they will regulate parking there, i can imagine it will be a pretty handy place to park on match days ;)

    In a few you enter and exit the car park via a barrier, which you can enter freely but must obtain a keycode from reception to leave.

    No idea if they’d do it here.
