My Matalan has gone!

[Mary Fisher]

So why not walk? It's very good for you!

Leeds centre is dead, it's thriving more than ever. I try to avoid it because it has nothing I need but I occasionally have to go to the optician, dentist, Infirmary or station etc. so I see what's going on.

What's more the traffic usually flows freely. Amazingly freely actually, when you consider the number of vehicles of all kinds on the feeder roads.

Today our local main road will probably be crowded because of Carnival but heck, it's a bank holiday.

I'm told. I'm busy washing, ironing, baking, cooking, gardening preparing for going s**th on Thursday and later have to wring the necks of two young cockerels :-(

Mary.

Apart from those who are in a blue-light ambulance, who are more likely to die 'on the road'.

Some councils are ripping up the traffic calming, having found the cure is worse than the disease...

The blue light, two tone, brigade are the most dangerous drivers on the roads in the SE Essex area.

I've only seen this happen once. My local council decided that it was a good idea to put yet another set of road calming lights on a main road, on the junction of the street where I reside. They didn't last very long. Motorists stopped using the slow moving main road and favoured the back street rat runs past schools.
