CONFUSION OVER SIGNS

WELL done Merseylink.

Do you not think that the big letter C above a mobile camera signage will not give motorists the impression that it refers to cameras.

Surely it could have been put every alternate stanchion and the same with the camera notice – not both together.

Surely an alteration to the overhead gantry signage would have been more than enough information.

We are not all totally ignorant of the fact that we have to pay to cross the bridge and with all the coverage about fines and legal referrals most people are aware after almost two years of the hassle whether the charges are legal or not we have to pay one way or another – perhaps the telephone number on the signage would have been a better option for people to pay for those who do not have IT access. port of contract changes.

These changes will see several benefits, including overall increases in pay and for working weekends and late shifts; improvements to junior doctors’ wellbeing and safety and, to the ability to formally raise concerns when they miss out on training because of rostering problems.

The contract will see an investment of £90 million over the next four years plus an average 2% pay uplift each year for four years.

This vote indicates that junior doctors recognise not only the major victories the BMA has secured – for example, enhanced shared parental leave for trainees and extra funding for rest and fatigue facilities around the country; but that through a new collaborative, constructive negotiation process that has learned from the mistakes of the past, we have made major strides towards a better future for all junior doctors.

There is of course a great deal more that needs to be done to improve the wellbeing and working lives of junior doctors, and the junior doctors committee will remain at the forefront of campaigns for a better funded, wellstaffed and publicly run health service. going on holiday to popular destinations over this period.

And research, conducted by travel search engine KAYAK.co.uk – has found that 41% of UK parents admit to talking children out of school during term time to avoid paying the costs.

The research found that 69% of parents who have taken their children out of school for a holiday informed the school of their plans and didn’t get fined. However, 13% said that despite speaking to the school, they still received a fine.

The main reason parents take their children out of school for holidays during term time is price (39%). Perhaps not surprising as KAYAK data has previously shown that prices for flights can more than double during school holidays.

Planning a family holiday can be stressful, and with prices skyrocketing during the school holidays, that stress can increase. I

It is simply a case of supply and demand – more people want to go at the same time, and therefore prices increase to reflect this.

However, we always find that even during school holidays some destinations go up less than others, and prices can reduce towards the end of the school holidays – so with the right planning and comparing of prices, parents can still find a good deal that doesn’t break the bank.
