We have just had our second flat tyre on our car in a week. We live on Barry Road and have heard that other people round here have been getting regular punctures. Has anyone else been experiencing this? If we can find out who else is having this problem we might be able to figure out who or what is causing it.

It may not be being 'caused' intentionally - but builders are notorious about not being careful with building materials - allowing nails etc. to lie in the street, so if there has been building or repair work going on locally a number of vehicles could have picked up punctures, effectively accidently. It's when valves are tampered with, or tyres slashed that you can be immediately concerned about intent. Additionally, and perhaps particularly relevant recently, pot-holes can cause tyre bursts, and many of the roads locally have suffered from frost/ snow damage which has raised the incidence of this problem.

Puncture complaints in Barry rd seemed to increase around the time the tyre bay at Turners was opened,


only a cynic would.


Put them together in the same sentence.


Purely coincidental they must have done market research, realized there is a higher proportion of punctures in the vicinity, so we must open a tyre bay, how fortunate that business seems to be flattening out.

Interstingly, I live very close to the tyre place and have noticed a few, very long (new) nails nearby. However, I used to get punctures regularly and haven't had any since they opened up (tempting fate now). Although. I did have by car broken into and completely cleared out in Tyrell Rd directly opposite a couple of months ago.

      Came across this link today that generates a stock letter to you MP if you object to the Proposed chases in their current format.  https://takingthepip.co.uk/write-to-your-mp/#letter Again, not trying to change individuals minds on here but get a fair consultation and discussion

      @HeadNun I haven't been through the assessment for mental health issues, god knows they treat you like you have one when you are assessed for motability issues. Therefore I can't comment on what you've read but don't always believe what the media telks you as they often sensationalise things to sell papers and bend the story slightly 😉  All I am doing in this thread is asking people who disagree to the PIP reform in its current format to write to their MP to say so and ask for a well consulted and thought through change. I'm not here to change people's minds but happy to discuss how disability impacts lives.

      I hate the idea of someone with a genuine disability losing money, it's heart-breaking. I thought the whole idea of these cuts was to get kids with mental health issues, which we used to call 'the human condition', off benefits and into a job. Before anyone says anything, I'm not talking about people with severe autism.  If the tests are so astringent, Spartacus, how come healthy youngsters with anxiety are getting benefits? It's ludicrous.  This from The Times:  Then there is mental health. This is the fastest-growing category of claim; anxiety and depression is now the single biggest reason to claim PIPs, accounting for 16 per cent of spending. Including problems such as autism and ADHD, there are 1.4 million people claiming for “psychiatric disorders”, almost 40 per cent of the total.   NHS figures on Thursday found that 23 per cent of people of working age now have a mental disorder, up from 18 per cent a decade ago, rising to 26 per cent in 16 to 24 year-olds. Young people are most likely to claim benefits for mental health problems and there is growing concern about a generation who may do so for decades. The number of children on disability living allowance, the precursor to PIPs, will reach a million by the end of the decade, double pre-Covid levels. Most of these are for behavioural problems such as ADHD or learning disabilities
