The new pedestrian lights, installed near the Aldi store on the Wootton Road a couple of months ago, have been turned on. Pedestrians from the Kings Gate estate now have a safe crossing. The lights may also help traffic turning right out of the Aldi and Kings Gate junctions.

On Sunday, at around noon, pedestrian lights on Ock Street were not working. A burglar alarm siren screamed on Ock Street. More burglar alarms were shrieking through the brewery development. When we got home, the clock on the oven was blinking. There had been a power cut.
