Or perhaps that's just what Micky wants, maybe he's a lonely old sod looking for responses!!! He certainly considers himself an expert on matters A303 and all things Shrewton related. Well let me tell him, he is NO expert and clearly knows nothing about Shrewton and it's problems. He's obviously not read this blog....now with over 101,000 viewings, where he just might update himself on official figures and stats and the stuff he's written here is way off the beam and will anger and upset every Shrewtonite - of which I am and remain so after 32 years albeit having moved to Scotland because of the - NON traffic he refers to!! For him to personally insult and verbally attack both a Shrewton villager and Parish Councillor is just downright ignorance and not very intelligent.
If one Goolges "Mickey Kyrle" he tells us he considers himself a nice person....this is what he says about himself on You Tube: "I Like to help people all the time. I've got a heart of gold until someone tries to mine it then I'm a monster. My life isn't perfect but it's peaceful and its how I like it. I don't claim to be perfect and never do but will keep moving forward. Mickey198424@hotmail.com" Well, Mickey has certainly shown his true colours in the following comments in Salisbury Journal following the closure of the A303 last evening and a fatality. They have invoked a huge response...like I say, maybe he's lonely....this is what he says in:
"The traffic through Shrewton is no worse than it was beforehand, to harp on about the tunnel is bonkers. Shrewton is a small village surrounded by farmland which generate income and the farmers aren't going to allow their land to be dug up due to a bunch of imbalanced people moaning that an extra few cars coming through Shrewton that doesn't exist. I've got friends and family in Shrewton and they tell me the issues you highlight have been present for decades, so get over yourself. The tunnel costing more than £1.7 billion was a waste of time and taxpayers money at the very least. The bottleneck section needs to be widen and let's get on with it and shut up moaning, this would cost only a couple of million pound and improve the road infrastructure and take the non-existent extra cars out of Shrewton to satisfy the individuals complaining. More cars equals more trade for local businesses but if that's not allowed then tell all local businesses in Shrewton to pack up and leave as I'm sure that then you'll have really something to moan about. Some places don't have shop in their village etc and yet your complaining about the apparent extra cars that don't exist, what a delusional individual and we all wonder why the area is falling apart with individuals like this in charge of the council, my mind boggles. Shrewton needs more homes on designated brown areas aka building areas deemed safe to do so and to leave all farm land alone, if Shrewton doesn't grow towards Amesbury and Durrington it'll disappear. As for your comments on rat runs of Shrewton it's not possible to drive through Shrewton like a rat run or racecourse due to the hard corners and the river running through it. The roads aren't wide enough to do what you claim and its the reason why the r2 is being effected as the roads are becoming awkward to navigate due to overgrown vegetation from gardens etc but yet homeowners complain there's little public services. Cut back the vegetation and street lights could be seen, corners can be seen, road markings can be seen, bus stops can be seen, stick to the designated paths that are in place and keep vegetation off the paths so they can be used by children etc. For maybe once these village cllrs need to grasp a dose of reality if you don't want the world at your doorstep then buy a huge acreage and live in the middle of it, better yet build a home underground and be that loner you so want to be. Utter twoddle from this cllr and clearly get another person in there with common sense and youth to them and let's get on with making life's better rather than destroying soo much to suit the NIMBYs like this cllr."
And here are some of the replies:
↪ in reply to Mickey Kyrle Freddiesaunt 18th September 5:07 pm What rambling nonsense. Will you allow your child to walk home from school along that busy road with no pavement? No, didn’t think so. You know nothing about life in Shrewton. Last Updated:
↪ in reply to Freddiesaunt Local resident 18th September 6:21 pm "I agree with your comments. I moved to Shrewton nearly 40 years ago, for many years it was possible to walk around with little fear of being knocked down. The closure of the A344 changed all that (thanks to Wiltshire Council) and the traffic situation now is totally unacceptable. I have never heard anyone say a lot of fuss is being made about nothing (the opposite is true) so where Mickey Kyrle's 'friends and relatives' live is anybody's guess and perhaps Mickey would care to tell us where all the businesses are that are benefitting from the traffic. From 23 August to 2 September there was a Speed Indicator Device with a traffic counter data logger in place in Shrewton's London Road, in that time over 41,000 vehicles passed through with a maximum speed of 68mph being recorded (this road being a 30mph speed limit)."

This is what Mickey says....."Oh yes of course only you dwellers know what happens in Shrewton. Get a grip on yourselves no parent allows any child to walk anywhere unescorted and if you do you're a truly a bad parent. I visit Shrewton often and all I see here is utter twoddle. Privileged individuals which is a minority wanting to rule majority as only their opinions matter. Very few vote in Shrewton and look at what's on offer for cllrs. Instead of asking for everything and give nothing think of others for once. If you have no paths demand for them as by law there has to be paths for pedestrians, oh that's right Privileged individuals don't want paths outside their homes. Cut back the vegetation like you're all been told to do for decades now that effects the main roads and maybe just maybe paths will appear. If you don't want progress then cut Shrewton off from the world and shut up, the UK is flat broke due to incompetent individuals running the UK, cllrs demanding from MPs to get super expensive projects done but nothing as simple as a road widening etc. Don't blow a horn for the misgivings of others if you refuse to help those that may need it, furthermore paths will be put in once Shrewton agrees that it needs to be evaluated for better quality infrastructure. Stop being backwards and be forwards, I'll be in Shrewton in the next couple of days and will enjoy the scenery of overgrown vegetation and beautiful homes that I can see". Last Updated:
in reply to Mickey Kyrle wilts resident 19th September 9:45 pm - "I stopped reading after your first sentence - "The traffic through Shrewton is no worse than it was beforehand" ABSOLUTE BALDERDASH The levels of traffic have increased by many, many times over the last decade, and not just at weekends but on every single day of the week - but what do I know I only live in the village! In my opinion the twaddle you referred to in your letter was written by you." Last Updated:
