A new pair of eyes seeing us differently!
Good evening Mr Codger, I have read your column in the autumn issue of Chainmail
with interest and enjoyment. I am all in favour of putting the SLOW back
into SLOW, but also of putting the white back into all other white lines
and signs, and while we are at it wiping down and cleaning up, straightening
up and sometimes repainting many other tired signs, public and private, about
the place. The posts at the Canal Bridge need a lick of paint too.
Some shopkeepers might be persuaded to smarten up their fascias and reduce
the vertical litter in their windows.
And who takes care of bus-stops, visually prominent, as they should be ?
The timetables are disorderly and unsightly - and while being tidied up the
information they convey, or ought to convey, could certainly be clarified
and brought up to date. And not just outside the Town Hall either.
I have only recently moved to Hungerford and look about me with a fresh eye.
I am indeed pleased to be here, and wish my new town well. May it just be
a little more spruce.
C.M
Many thanks to the Hungerford Town councillor who agrees
with increasing the Car Parking charges!
Would the partly considerate dog owner that throws his poo bags in
the verge down Marsh Lane, go a little bit further and become completely
considerate, and take the bags HOME!
DO NOT PARK on the disabled bay (2) just down the High street from
the CO-OP (towards the Canal) unless you have a Blue Badge, I saw yet
another
ordinary
motorist getting booked the other Friday morning. My friend David (again),
has asked WBC to mark the bays with the ‘’wheelchair’’ symbol
!
PETROL WATCH……………….Have you noticed
since Somerfield's closed as a supermarket, that both of the petrol
stations in
Hungerford are consistently dearer than Newbury. Half term saw us being
4p a litre dearer! Costers at Speen is not so far away!
Still no news then on the date for the next Canal Bridge meeting! Just
how long does it take on a computer to offer up 3 or 4 metal railing
designs, and to alter the pavement ideas as discussed at the last meeting
3 months
ago?
Please contact me through David’s e-mail, davidhpiper111@btinternet.com
or to CHAIN Office…..address on outside back page and title your words/thoughts
as …….Old Codger column please ……. Bye Bye & keep
safe.
