“Faced with months of roadworks and upheaval, and the loss of business at the party supplies shop he runs with his wife Wendy in Bath, the pioneering 52-year-old rented a nearby field and built an alternative road to allow traffic to bypass the closure, charging drivers £2 each way. He spent £150,000 on the gravel track next to the A431 in Kelston and says he will probably spend that again to maintain it. Of course, the council has been quick to question his efforts, citing that mealy-mouthed old staple — health and safety. Rather than thanking him, they’ve subjected Mr Watts to all sorts of snooty checks and inspections. Well, they must be furious. They have been utterly humiliated by him.”
