Probus News Magazine - September 2019 edition

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, I’d be grateful if you would publish this.

Are you one of the people who always drives along our road in a rush every morning? Or maybe one of the young drivers who zoom up and down every evening between 6 and 8 pm, on their way to leave tyre marks and litter by the substation on Ladock Road? If so: I hope you don't hit a cat. Another cat, that is.

I hope you don't hit a dog. Another dog, that is.

I hope you don't hit any wildlife - deer have recently been seen on this road.

I hope you don't hit a horse - a lot of riders have to use this stretch.

I hope you don't hit a person, especially a parent pushing a buggy.

I hope you don't hit a child walking or cycling to or from school.

I hope you don't hit me.

That's a lot to hope for, and I don't feel very hopeful.

I live on Chapel Street, which has a 20 mph limit between the junction with Fore Street all the way past the school and the driveway to Lamellyn. There is no pavement on half of this street despite the school and the 20 plus houses, so pedestrians are forced to walk in the road.

Instead of us all having to hope, what about you slowing down to BELOW 20mph, as that is the maximum legal limit?

Marilyn Joyce, Chapel Street Dear Editor I have just read through the August 2019 edition with great fascination. As one of the original committee members, along with my wife (Ann), it is fabulous to see the magazine going from strength to strength. We are still in contact with our great friends, Nick and Lin Hibbett, so it was good to see them mentioned in this edition. It is really good that we can still keep in touch with the village we both loved through the online magazine.

Keep up the good work.
