6 more speeding motorists were booked and a further 2 given verbal warnings. Another motorist was booked for using a mobile phone whilst driving. Hopefully the message will now be getting through that Brockton and Worthen are no-go areas for speeding drivers! I am encouraging the police to keep this up and extend their activities to Marton and elsewhere.
. It comes as no surprise to hear that this service will be staying at Princess Royal Hospital in Telford at least for now!! As I have said before I strongly suspect that this the thin end of the wedge. Once stroke care is moved permanently from Shrewsbury then a proper Accident and Emergency unit ceases to be viable in the longer term. We must be vigilant to ensure we don’t lose our A+E by stealth!
. The West Midlands Ambulance Service came to our Local Joint Committee the other night to talk about how they are reorganising their service. The good news is that they have reopened Ambulance stations in Shrewsbury and Craven Arms. This means that we should see more fully equipped ambulances arrive at incidents and fewer fast response cars. The overall response times for Ambulances however, is still a cause of concern.
