Thanks, I understand your interest in local issues - I also share this interest otherwise I wouldn't be on this site. I have in fact petitioned the council on various issues that I feel strongly about so consider myself fairly active in these types of things!

To be fair though sometimes people do not help themselves, pedestrians can be just as dangerous in behaviour as motorists and I just feel that when it comes to roads EVERYTHING is in the favour of anyone except the motorist. rant over!
