Why when the human traffic survey was taken along Albion Street and Eastgate South did that survey not take into account the movement of people between 11.30am and 2pm?

This is by far the busiest time of day when schoolchildren flow into town to take their lunch.

Is the movement of schoolchildren not an issue or simply of no importance to those wishing to send 20-plus articulated lorries down these streets each day?

Residents understand that you wish to double yellow line part of Albion Street in order to maintain a flow of traffic. This is a brilliant idea, especially considering that nobody parks their cars there anyway.

It is obvious that you only wish to do this so that in a few weeks time you can apply to the highways department stating the success this has had in order to further restrict vehicle parking along Eastgate.
If you need to be underhand about this, then is it not safe to suspect that it is not a good idea to begin with?

All you councillors who are supposed to be representing us lesser mortals, but who choose not to listen to the people who gave you your position, please list your names in this newspaper.

I ask you to do this so that when our houses, many more than 100 years old, start to crack and crumble due to 40 tonne trucks rumbling along back streets, not designed for main stream traffic, we can come to you and ask for compensation.

Or when a child is knocked down and killed because these streets are not fit for the purposes you wish to force upon them, we can point a big accusatory finger at you, and say 'We told you so' as the coffin procession slows down outside your house in order to further illustrate the point we have been making to you for months.

You people were put in a position by us to represent our views and act upon our concerns.

You would do well to remember that and start to do just that instead of being yes men to those who line your pockets.
