BUILD A FENCE! BUILD A FENCE!
Figures from the Home Office have revealed 14 more families moved out of Langport last month.
A Whitehall spokeswoman told Carry On Langport it was largely down to cows being allowed access to the footpath along North Moor [to Tesco] and the lack of a railway station.
It's reported the cow issue should soon be resolved with several thousands of pounds about to be spent on a fence along the entire stretch of the [pictured] footpath. Thank God for that eh. How have we managed the last thousand years without a fence?
As for public transport, it's reported people from Ukraine and Gaza are even moving out saying Langport and Somerton without a railway station are "absolutely unbearable".
Couldn't agree more - no job prospects or quality of life since Westover and Eastover stations closed in the 1960s. It's been a nightmare hasn't it.
But have no fear, our Lib-Dem MP has already written to the new Minister in charge of public transport about our 'ordeal' here in Langport....
How have we all managed these last 6 decades? Having to get to Yeovil, Taunton, Castle Cary or Sherborne to get a train.....bloody disgusting.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Nice bit of sneaky advertising there on the Town Council website for a riverside cafe [partly run by a town councillor]
Other good riverside cafes are available. Like the Kitchen at The Wharf....
....which would have been in the town council website video had the passenger boat been filmed coming through the bridge the other way.
