PETITION launched: A petition has been launched to try to persuade Hampshire County Council to reintroduce the bus lay-by outside Chineham Village Hall.

This is because so many motorists are ignoring the keep left bollards and going around the wrong side, causing a serious danger to oncoming traffic.

The petition can be reached at ipetitions.com/petition/chinehamvh- bus-stop.
