[00:10.63]Exercise 1 Listen and check your answers.

[00:25.53]And here is this week's County Report.

[00:28.22]At acouncil meeting yesterday.

[00:30.03]Ludford's traffic problems were discussed.

[00:32.41]The main problem is the A49 road,

[00:34.70]which goes right through the town.

[00:36.38]There have been several serious accidents

[00:38.27]recently-last week two children were killed

[00:40.73]by a lorry near the school.

[00:42.29]A report last year also showed

[00:43.56]that air pollution from traffic is increasing

[00:46.39]and the old buildings in the town

[00:47.38]are getting dirty and damaged.

[00:50.03]There is a terrible traffic jam every morning

[00:51.72]at Loudford Bridge

[00:52.64]and there's nowhere to park in the centre.

[00:54.27]Because of the traffic,

[00:55.46]shoppers are going to other towns

[00:56.93]and local shops are closing down.
