@WinchesterCity Compton Down woodland is a disgrace. Commercial dog walkers regularly with up to 8 aggressive dogs off the lead and not clearing up. Locals have has enough and would like action

[Matt Wilkinson @comptonwilkys]

@MrMarkBeaumont @Argon18bike Great talk, many thanks. How you manage the balance between ultra endurance athlete and old school adventurer was fascinating to hear about. Good luck with the rest of the tour!

[Matt Wilkinson @comptonwilkys]

@Xelabus kids have been waiting in the freezing cold for the King's School 531 for 45 mins. Some have exams today. Where is it and what are you doing to improve this service?

[Matt Wilkinson @comptonwilkys]

@Bertolicus been after a pair of these for a while.. the original British made fell running shoe..

Great to see this Taskers steam wagon in the hight st of Winchester yesterday. Right outside the Guildhall where we got married 20 years ago!

[Matt Wilkinson @comptonwilkys]

@SouthernWater What is the current timetable for restoring the supply?

[Matt Wilkinson @comptonwilkys]

@Xelabus @school_kings So you are leaving the kids out in the freezing cold for an extra 15 mins? What a complete shambles... breakdowns, driver shortages, over crouding, busses running early, late or not at all..

[Matt Wilkinson @comptonwilkys]

@Xelabus can you please explain what actions you are taking to improve punctuality and reliability of your @school_kings service? The Compton bus has broken down 3 times in November,is frequently late and to cap it all 10mins early today so most kids missed it. A total shambles!

[Matt Wilkinson @comptonwilkys]
