Tories have a dreadful record over school speed zones
Thu 18th Dec 2008
Councillor Colston's reported comments ('Plea for 20mph safety zones') beg a serious political question.

Not for the first time in your newspaper, local Conservative councillors are giving the impression that they have nothing to do with the policies and track record of their own administration. But the sad truth is that in Great Missenden, we are still waiting for many of the very basic and cheap road safety measures promised publicly to voters by Councillor Colston before the last county council elections in 2005 and for which there is 'no money'.
