LETTER: Dicing with death in street
Elderly people, students and parents with young children walk up Carlisle Road from the seafront to The Heritage Centre and to the town. Not only do they have to dice with death with a bus stop obscuring their vision, but also HGVs unloading outside the stage door, parked cars, buses, dustmen etc.
Some are unable to walk quickly and are on walking sticks, mothers with young children in prams and tourists who are trying to make there way to the town and are always lost or confused as to which way to go. Motorists are driving like complete maniacs – if someone stepped out they would never be able to stop and the noise from the motorbikes is unbearable.
