    I've just posted an articles winter tyres & whilst looking through the local paper have seen a large number of ads for companies in Wisbech offering part worn tyres. It seems to me that opinions are very polarised about the merits of the three types of tyre you can buy.  Some people will only evert buy new tyres although the cost can be astronomical.  Part worn tyres make a lot of sense as they are quality tyres with a...

    Spiked Tyres
    I have just posted an article about getting your car checked over now winter has arrived in Wisbech & the two most acknowledged factors in being as safe as possible are avoiding breakdowns through mechanical failures & tyres. With the terrible weather we've had over the last couple of years the spotlight has been on roads & traffic chaos as soon as there is any snow & this focus has highlighted information that can...

    Britain's Killer Roads
    Wisbech found itself featured on prime time tv for the third time in as many years last week when Wisbech featured in 'Britain's killer Roads'. It focussed on the A1101 between Wisbech & Long Sutton & catalogued a sorry tale of council denial, mistakes & downright imcompetence. It featured a couple who live on the 'Gypsy Bends' & their struggle, to no avail to get the council to do something about the continual stream...
  • Is Wisbech Ready for the Big Freeze?

    Salt Mountain
    With the dire predictions of the worst winter in living memory with regard to snow & ice & remembering last year I think it's justified to ask whether the council is ready this year.
