@wiltscouncil @SalisburyCC something needs to be done about these four way lights at Wilton roundabout! This is causing chaos! You want people to use the bus but we’re losing up to an hour sat in traffic!!

3 in custody following thefts of motorcyles & tools in Swindon. Having made off and attempted a U-turn on the M4, tactical contact was made to prevent a disaster. Great #teamwork by #RPU, #ARV, #TSYGVAB & @wiltspolicedogs. Working together to target our force #burglary priorities

While some postmasters can barely make ends meet, the Post Office chief exec was paid of £870k - including a whacking great bonus of £455k. In parliament he tried to justify executives receiving bonuses as a way to "incentivise people to do the right thing". Ridiculous.🧵1/2

My old friend @SuellaBraverman has described rough sleeping as a 'lifestyle choice' I always thought lifestyle choices were things such as cargo pants, fishing and decorating your bathroom with a bowl of potpourri. I want to see if this image I found on google described as 'Wooden Botanical Fragrant Potpourri Bowl With Lemon' can raise £50,000 for homelessness charity @crisis_uk Donate here: instagram.com/p/CzPTaJzIK4M/…

PLEASE SHARE 😡 This beautiful Mini Clubman belongs to an A&E nurse who came off shift to find it stolen. It went missing in the South West, but could be anywhere now. We’ve proven before what a small place we can make the classic car community. It’s time to go to work again.

Wholesale gas is FIVE times cheaper today than it was in August. Wholesale gas is 30% cheaper today than before Putin invaded Ukraine. In 16 days Ofgem announce the next energy bill price. Ofgem must cut energy bills now.

Gas companies are gambling on the wholesale energy markets. They deliberately ramped up the prices to bank an Ofgem price rise. They then slammed on the brakes to buy large quantities of wholesale gas on the futures market at collapsing prices. They then bank £bns in profits.

Wholesale Gas has crashed to a new low. Just 149p per therm compared to 702p in August. Ofgem say they’ll cut bills in April. What use is that to people who deserve a cut in bills now? Cut bills now.

The deal that’s been offered to call off the train strikes would see both of these staff members lose their jobs, where does that leave people with limited mobility or other impairments? The deal is an absolute sham and should be treated with the contempt it deserves.#Solidarity

A THREE YEAR WAIT. What is this 16 year-old meant to do? Put his life on hold for the next three years?! The NHS crisis is holding back people from getting on with their lives. The longer the Conservatives are in power, the longer patients will wait. shropshirestar.com/news/heal…

Meet Simon Thompson, the CEO of Royal Mail. He earns £62,750 a month. Because its a struggle getting by on just £1,500 a day after tax, he also got a £140,000 bonus this year. Simon has cut posties pay in real terms.

#RPU assisting @trowbridgeCPT with an RTC where the drunk driver left the road, rolled the car and was ejected through the side window! Some how this hasn’t resulted in a fatality!
