It is worth noting that Bath and North East Somerset Council's planning committee recently accepted increasing the already bad housing to jobs ratio, which will cause more out-commuting, traffic problems, pollution and local unemployment.

Meanwhile, councillor Eleanor Jackson failed to find 10 B&NES councillors who care enough about Radstock or the environment to agree to further scrutiny of the road plan.

No surprises this week then.
