Feedback from recent posts.

I am really pleased to say that I got a good deal of feedback from my latest Blog Alert.

I had two contributions about the post on speeding.

One, from a correspondent from Cockfield, had a somewhat contrary view to many, believing that common sense and education is more important than speed limits:


'Re. speeding, there is an issue out there that there are too many unrealistically low stretches, eg. Nowton Hill 40 going in to Bury, where everybody is going at least 50, and if you drive at 40 someone will overtake you.  You then move into a 30  along Sicklesmere Road, which used to be 40, and where everybody still drives at 40!   Unrealisically low limits undermine respect for them.   What is needed is a much improved cultute of "driving with due respect for other users of the road".   IQ needs to be a component of the driving test!!!   I move to the middle of the road to overtake a bicycle, or pass a pedestrian on the road or pavement but nobody ever follows me!!'

Another from Lavenham writes:

Re- speed issues, most of our Lavenham motorists have been invited to attend the excellent speed awareness course offered by the local police. The simple and sensible advice given really works, and many of us now drive in strict observance of the advice given us. It is like having been on an advanced driving course, and can be recommended to all drivers who have not yet attended.

Details of the course are available from your PCSO.

Fran from Little Waldingfield has asked me to inform readers about the Little Waldingfield Flower Festival, which will be held on 14th and 15th September to coincide with the Church's Bike Ride.  The theme this year will be Grimms Fairy Tales to mark the 200th anniversary of their publication.  Lunches and Teas will, as usual, be served and there will be a variety of stalls.

This is always a good event, so put the date in your diaries.

Finally I received a rude comment about Wagner from my old boss in New York!
