WE covered the story about a bus lane in Wiltshire that’s ‘bringing in £2.5 million of fines for the council’. Thousands of drivers are still falling foul of the restriction near the Designer Outlet in Swindon.

LIZ DENBURY: My hubby and I have both had that happen by our sat navs directing us down there. So frustrating!

SUE BRYSON: I got caught out a few years back . I didn’t notice as I thought ‘ahh there’s the car park.’ Same automatically turned left . I then realised I was in trouble.

RYAN BARRATT: I tell you why it’s raked in that much... when you type in Google postcode for outlet village Swindon it sends you down that bloody bus lane... sneaky.

JO CONNOR: I got caught out here, you used to be able to drive down there and I hadn’t been for years and didn’t take much notice of the road signs then got a fine through the post.

KERRY JEAN MCKENNA: We had two separate fines from the same day. Going up both ways.

LOUISE PAYNE: I did this , told the woman on the phone id followed the sat nav and her response was...if I had a £1 for everyone that gave me that excuse...

JULIE DAVIES-BROKAS: So what happens to the Fine money? Does it help reduce the Rates?

PAUL STANFORD: That’s why I don’t go to Swindon.

Phil Meade: I no longer live in Swindon but got caught some years ago. On return I checked the signage along the approach road too much and drivers are concentrating on the traffic lights! Still had to pay!

SAMANTHA WHITE: I don’t live in Swindon and I got caught . When you trying to find the entrance to the car park it’s easily done, not enough signs to say where to go and you just follow your instincts. Bye the time you realise it’s too late and they have got you.

CRAIG S PONTING: Two signs each way plus bloody big letters on the road should be enough, so if you get caught, pay up and move on simple as that. Try not to do it as all monies paid will go into a council black hole as always.

PIP HUNTER: Well they have to do something to pay all senior executives. Perhaps they should consider combining the directorships on the individual councils into regional authorities, how hard can it be. Then they can use revenue from bus lanes on road repairs and pot holes.

RACHEL ELLIS: I got caught on this one!! A small sign on the traffic light, easy to miss!

We also reported on a village pub in Wiltshire that hit back at Boris Johnson’s plea to people to stay out of pubs. The Three Crowns at Brinkworth, pictured, has urged its customers to keep visiting, saying: “Boris’ decision to not close pubs but advise against coming to us has left us baffled! And the pub industry possibly in tatter.”

STEVE JOHNSTONE: People are worried about there way of life. This is a big adjustment and will be painful for most of us.

DELL GILL: We’re the same the white hart of Corsley. We have no choice. We have to take extra precautions but if we don’t open we could lose our home and our jobs. It’s a tough call but people are willing to go to supermarkets that are packed out, pubs will be less busy. It’s not as essential to go to the pub but it’s essential to us and our staff.

PIP HUNTER: I think that pubs, cafes and restaurants should stay open if they can follow strict infection control and maintain distance...otherwise do a proper lockdown and let these business owners collect their insurance and survive....

NEIL JEFFERIES: Only reason he didn’t say pubs should close would mean they have to pay loads of people around the country some sort of payment but if the pub goes under it’s up to the pub to pay their staff avoiding the government paying out. Boris is in it for himself and it’s not only pubs that are in financial trouble its restaurants and cinemas and everything around socialising.

CHARLIE MAJOR: Ideally the decision should not be laid at the door of these small businesses. The Government needs to be more decisive and clearly detail the financial support that will be provided before encouraging customers to distance themselves.

ROB GEERING: Think you are jumping the gun,the chancellor is reportedly thinking of reimbursing businesses so there takings are the same as last year,will probably hear today or tomorrow?

CORINNA CLARKE WHITEOUTMALS: How irresponsible! More interested in £££ than in containing a deadly virus.
