Roadtrain of rolling steel
HAVE there been speed traps along the A17? Something has been going on, judging by the speed lorry drivers have been observing.
These so-called knights of the road have been sticking dead-on 40mph for the last couple of weeks.
Trouble is this is a 60mph road for all other traffic, but you can't get past the 40mph roadtrain of rolling steel which the bunched-up lorries have become.
They ride bumper to bumper with barely room for a fag paper between them making overtaking hazardous unless you've got nitrous oxide on tap. Normal overtaking opportunities are compromised by the fact that it's all or nothing because there's no room between HGVs to pull in. Remember, lads, you're supposed to be knights, not hogs.
l I love the way correspondents respond so eloquently to issues I have raised. A Lynn pensioner writes about the Yours South Lynn development "it is a jaded, faded Legoland. It was a blank canvas and could have been a lovely new village. Who passed the plans?" Couldn't have put it better myself.
The pensioner goes on to also query who passed plans for three houses in a back garden in Loke Road with only a path for access, three more flats being built in front of those with no parking spaces and several flats built near Loke Road Post Office also without parking provision.
One of the new houses now has permission for a building plot making it six where one once stood.
