| One-way route will tackle rat-run
DRIVERS using St John's Street as a rat run will have to find another route this Spring, when Winchester City Council introduces a one-way system. From late March or early April, motorists will not be able to drive northbound on St John's Street between its junction with Blue Ball Hill and Bridge Street, as part of an 18-month experiment to improve road safety. The decision to implement a one-way system was made at the city cabinet's traffic and parking committee on Tuesday, after members heard representations from concerned residents. .

Get facts, then complain
This pertains to the letter on handicapped parking. I, too, have a handicapped permit and get a lot of looks, etc., and was even turned in to security at the mall. To look at me, I may look normal, but you have no idea the pain within. I have a bulging L5 disk, cancer, sciatic nerve, fibromyalgia -- all of which are unseen to the eye. I have my good days and can accomplish some chores, but then there are days I can enter the store only to have to leave within minutes as my legs become numb. Who are you to judge others? Our doctors give us these for a reason, just as you. To further that, I would love to see a lane in all stores just for us handicapped people so we can get through the lines faster, not standing there in pain. I have actually sat on the floor in lines, just to relieve the pressure.
Parking Shortage Raises Middletown Tempers
(Middletown-Courant.com) _ Roger Beliveau ignores the urgent pounding on the window of the Downtown Spanish and American Market as he writes a ticket for a black SUV parked on Main Street. "Save your money," Beliveau tells the young woman rushing out to drop 25 cents in the meter. "Please, oh please," the woman practically moans. Beliveau's eyes are unreadable, hidden behind his sunglasses. His voice is bright, like he's enjoying himself. "Once I start writing out a ticket, I have to give it out," he says to the woman. Her hopeful smile twists into a sneer. She slams her coin into the meter and flounces away. From the market's open doorway, a male voice curses the parking enforcement officer. There is venom in the obscenities. Beliveau doesn't turn around.
