MADAM, Has anyone else noticed the

new village that has suddenly appeared

along the A49 between Pengethley and

Peterstow, with the costly erection of

huge yellow signs with speed restriction?

What did they cost and why? The

A49 is acknowledged as one of the most

dangerous roads in Britain so why do

we need such another huge distraction

for a village that does not exist!

If speed really is the problem and

goodness knows there are more than

enough varying signs along its length,

then maybe it should have a

lower restriction also and then half the

signs could be done away with.

The new signs are in the wrong place

as they refer to the crossroads at the Red

Lion just before Peterstow and does this

perhaps signify the start of naming each

crossroad, eg St Owen's Cross, Old Pike

Junction, Pengethley, Harewood End

Pitch, Windmill Hill, Llandinabo,

Crosscollar - the list goes on, and at

whose expense? Time for a review of

our Council Tax.

Nick Helme, not sure of my

address, is it Winter's Cross or as formerly

Peterstow.
