Last Tuesday I attended the Ramsbottom, North Manor and Tottington Local Area Partnership meeting at Summerseat Methodist Church. A number of important local problems were raised many of which are long standing difficulties. Speeding traffic in particular was discussed and whilst enforcement is one means of controlling speeding traffic it is far better if we all accept that everyone who uses the roads has a part to play.
I have been away in Leeds on Friday and Saturday watching England play the South Africans in the Second Cricket Test. Whilst we were fortunate considering the weather forecast to see as much play as we did South Africa had by far the better of the conditions and they made the most of it.
