Is your car ready for Winter in Wadebridge?
While the rest of the country, and parts of the county of Cornwall, got buried under a snowdrift Wadebridge escaped. Personally I would have enjoyed some snowball action. It was however very cold and bits of my car stopped working, like the screen wash and the heater. Cars are more likely to break down in the winter, so here are Wadebridge People's top tips for getting your car through the winter months. Maintaining your car... -
Proposal to stop vehicles using main street in Wadebridge
This is the third time I've written about cars using Molesworth Street in Wadebridge. It would appear to be a popular news item as this week it has made the front page of the Cornish Guardian.

Wadebridge has 403 Liftshare opportunities
Following a recent meeting I attended concerning environmental issues, at the home of my very generous hosts on the edge of Wadebridge, I was alarmed to see how many of us had driven with some spare seats available in our cars. This is to be expected in a rural community, but can easily be fixed through communication and a willingness to lift share. This week happens to be the first ever Liftshare Week taking place from 4th-8th...
