The residents did not close the road. We were not aware of its closure until the notification by post from National grid.

This letter was very useful as it set out all access rights and included a map showing same.

It is a very narrow road and would not take all the traffic that normally flows along Wootton Road and Gayton Road.

We have practically 24- hour traffic up and down here normally and the six weeks school holidays is a small respite from the traffic pollution and queues.

School times make it difficult for pedestrians to cross our road safely or walk on the pavements as some drivers do not believe in keeping on the road and will not give way, so up on the pavement they go!

Yes, there are lots of vehicles parked in Rosebery Avenue – several residents do park on their own property but when there is a need for more than one car in a family the amount of vehicles increases, plus, we do have friends and family who visit.

Kensington Road, Kent Road and Queensway are much wider roads and suitable for the volume of traffic.

Wootton Road is almost twice as wide as Rosebery Avenue, most of the homes have drives to park in, but still lots park on the roads, on bends, etc.

The houses are also further from the road so the foundations do not get shaken quite as much by the volume of traffic and the boom, boom, boom of speakers in some cars.

The lady from Field End Close broke the law, by her own admission, on several occasions by using Rosebery Avenue.

The warning signs were put up in many places so she should have seen them in plenty of time and it wouldn't have meant "travelling several miles" to get home.

Field End Close is, after all, a cul-de-sac so she would not have much passing traffic by her home.

We chose to live here and, usually, we all get along well together.

We know and help our fellow residents. Do these people who were "running us down" know their neighbours?

All of them took it upon themselves to use the back lanes as "short cuts" were actually trespassing as these lanes were private property.

They could all be sued should we residents be as nasty and intolerant as made out in recent Lynn News letters and, indeed, in verbal abuse residents have received in the avenue or on the phone.

Would you like people driving vehicles over your drives and gardens?

The road as closed for a possible seven weeks out of a lifetime, so was there really any need for drivers to complain about a little inconvenience!

The work had to be done and it is on a very awkward junction, surely this was better than having no gas to use or, worse still, a gas leak or explosion!

The Police were being abused for doing their job of upholding the law, people complain that there are not Police about on the beat, now those same people did not like it because the Police were on the beat and doing their job.
