A FRAMPTON Mansell pub has been trashed after a waste lorry smashed into the front of the building this afternoon.

The lorry collided into the front of The White Horse at 1pm following a near miss with a silver Volkswagen.

A police spokesman said the lorry driver had swerved to avoid a silver car shortly before the accident.

The pub, which has been closed since April, is said to be still structurally safe.

The man driving the lorry suffered superficial cuts to his head and his right shoulder.

No-one inside the building was injured.

A good excuse for Cllr. Teflon Tuffers to bring forward that order for the new truck which will weigh our microchipped grey bins and then send us a bill.

The wheels have certainly come off the new Tory waste policy - Cllr. Bennett (Con) was only saying to me the other day how they all had a lovely 'crisis' meeting and the plan was for him to be an 'attack dog' against any criticism and for Cllr. Adams to write more poems !

If only they had a waste policy as simple as the Cabinet.

A free piece of advice - when you are in a hole stop digging !

I don't think CDC Leader Cllr. Stowe can blame the journalists for this excellent photo - but he probably will!
