The building of the bridge was given planning permission a couple of months back in August. Work has to start within 3 years. Wonder if it will be in place by 2025?

No idea. BUT...... the more GPs that go private then logically the fewer there will be working in the NHS = longer waiting times to see a NHS GP. If longer times to see a NHS GP (and/or get that NHS hospital appointment/operation) the greater the argument becomes that the NHS is, by default, denying health care to its patients. Not the NHS fault btw.

I left Exminster in a car a little while later. One of the buses was whiling away time in a bus stop in ...

@Carer - if it was your daughter (& grandchildren) who was 'a teenage single mum with a couple of kids' in desparate need of housing I'm sure you'd be thrilled if the council put her near the top of the list! I'm surprised no-one here hasn't joined in with you adding immigrants to the list.
