KFC Yeovil

28th Jan 2012
The fence has been put back up but still not much sign of KFC opening in Yeovil soon.

7th Jan 2012
Looks like the Yeovil KFC development has stalled, the site looks abandoned and building appears to have stopped.

The security fence is down and building materials are strewn around the site, and is now an open invitation to vandalism.

So when will KFC Yeovil open? I  Who knows, not soon I guess. The banner  advertising new jobs at KFC Yeovil is still lying attached to a fallen security fence.

It is only now you can actually see how close this development in Yeovil is to nearby homes.

Yeovil has finally made the BT list of Fiber optic upgrades

Looks like Yeovil has finally made the BT list of Fiber optic upgrades possibly in 2012!
"The date on the BT Infinity Site for Yeovil is teh 31st dec 2012"

It will possibly be FTTC (Fibre to the Cabinet) which still give speeds far superior to current broadband speeds. The quoted speeds I have seen is up to 40mbs download speeds for FTTC.

Well I will believe it when it is in and working; it will be a vast improvement on my 3mbs down load if it is a good day.

Coffee Shops in Yeovil

Its a nice sunny day and can you find a coffee shop with an outside seating area where none smokers are welcome.

I am a regular in starbucks in Yeovil and like many other eating and drinking places there is no such thing an outside area for folks who would like fresh air and sun.

Any thoughts

Pedestrian Crossing on Reckleford, Yeovil part 2

Work appears to be under way, lights have gone of the poles, the buttons still appear active and people are still crossing without a care in the world.
There is no real signage to state the obvious i.e. the crossing is not working.
The pavement at the bottom end of Goldcroft is blocked off by plant and vehicles parked on the double yellow lines. From the crossing side there was not much choice take to walking in the road up Goldcroft to avoid the hazards on the pavement and take your chance with the traffic. I am sure it will only get worse.

Pedestrians are directed between the Van and the arm of digger (Mind your head).

Pedestrian Crossing on Reckleford

Pedestrian Crossing on Reckleford between Gold croft and Yeovil town centre is going to be closed in the from Monday 11th July for approximateley 3 weeks.

There is a map attached to the crossing showing a suggested alternate route. It suggests the best way to cross is use the crossing 260m down the hill!

I think folks will take their chance and cross just past the barriers adjacent to the Fire station. I certainly don’t advise that.

Not to sure how this will affect the traffic, long queues and will take for ever to get through Yeovil.
I am sure this has been planned by Somerset County Council with little thought for local residents and business.

Work has started but as yet is not affecting users of the crossing.
