A parishioner writes concerning several prangs on Bourne End Road which currently is not salted in frosty/snowy weather. Should this not be a 'hot spot' along with Marston Hill salted in addition to A and B roads? I understand some utility neanderthals who are out on parole from the Jurassic era just think its all down to women drivers.
Anyway the telegraph pole has taken quite a hammering. Luckily that's all see below:
Hi Laurence,
As discussed today, the following is a brief outline of events to date:-
Monday January 11th - 1st pole destroyed (around 9 am)
Tuesday Jan 12th (a.m.) - a motorist skids into new pole, but no damage done
Weds Feb 10th (8.30 p.m) - a car hits metal stantions that keep pole in ground, drives off with undercarriage of car exposed and leaking oil over the road (witnessed by our neighbour).
Our neighbour's fence is also damaged on the same evening by a different car.
Thurs 11th Feb - 2nd pole destroyed (around 9.30 am)
Sun 21st Feb - 3rd pole destroyed (around 8 am)
I would also like to formally request that we are added to the list for salt bins on Bourne End Road.
Thanks for your advice Laurence. I will compose a piece for Cranfield Express if I feel it is still timely for the April edition. I have contacted Beds on Sunday who I hope will run a piece this weekend.
