OH MY GOD, don't people make a fuss.
I have never known such nasty animosity in all my days, where is people’s compassion and helping hand? what does it matter that local people are using Rosebery avenue as a through-road.
I have lived in Lynn all my life and people have always used
this road every single day.
the schools use it twice a day – for how many years?
And it’s only now that the authorities have given this street ammunition to use that they are now complaining.
They really can’t have a lot to do in their day other than to stand out on the street abusing poor motorists visiting sick people in hospital.
I have hardly any use of this road myself but yes i have used it since the roadworks and I can honestly say that other than me at the time it was extremely quiet.
The only traffic in the road was the residents’ cars parked in the street, oh, and me.
There is no more danger on that road than any road anywhere else.
In fact, I think the residents parking on a public highway and narrowing the road is more dangerous than drivers using it for the correct purpose of driving through.
Many of the Rosebery avenue residents have parking facilities around the back of their properties that would then give plenty of room for everyone to use.
How would they feel if Gayton road started abusing them for using the road they live on every time they wanted to go to the hospital or town or Hardwick?
It’s the same principles they are using. those roads are for people to get somewhere, it’s the same with every road.
They are made to get to places, and I can honestly and truthfully say that I have never noticed people “racing” down this road on the occasions i have used it.
I think that as long as lorries do not try to get down there (not that they can due to the residents parking) I can’t see a problem.
The residents would never ever have bothered about it if someone had not have given them that loaded gun.
If I lived there I would gladly allow people to use the road, what with the state of the world is in, just a little bit of kind heartedness would go such a long, long way.
yours, paying her council tax and road taxes on time.
