Winter is at an end and if you’re a regular driver on our roads at this time of year, you’ll know that the beginning of Spring is also known as Pothole season – and you’ll be using all your skills on the road to avoid becoming a victim of a pothole accident!

I’m sure many of you have noticed that they’ve sprung up all over the place. Anywhere that saw the snow over the Christmas period is likely to be worse affected.

‘Des’ as he was affectionately known by many wasn’t just the local dentist; he was a friend to the local community. For the former patients affected by his actions, the scandal has been made worse by the fact that they feel they have been ‘let down’ and ‘deceived’ by a man they once knew as a friend.
