Dear Trevor

Firstly I enjoy reading The Resident, Thank you.
This is a time of great changes and a disappointing world but we all carry on doing our own thing, looking after ourselves and families to the best way we can. I would like to say to Peter Sharp, from a previous Resident Letters page, cheer up, a few funnies may actually put a smile on some of our faces! Obviously Guy Saward, who also wrote in the same edition, also prefers not to chuckle. However we are not all the same and I like to occasionally smile, it makes all the difference.

Thank you for your efforts and trying to please everyone.

Mrs Annette Carroll

“Why are people so selfish that they feel they can play God with other people’s lives? I’m referring to individuals who use mobile phones whilst driving, without hands free.

To the man who drove round the corner into our road whilst texting. To another who manoeuvred his van across a double roundabout in Benfleet, with phone in hand. Then there was a woman, some months ago, who could have taken my young son and I off the pavement as she could not control her 4x4 whilst using her mobile. She was most indignant that I should reprimand her for her illegal act and she pointed out that she had stopped whilst continuing her conversation on the ‘phone. Well that’s ok then. No, it’s not. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. These people and many more like them are forgetting that they are in charge of a lethal weapon. We don’t need anymore deaths on the road.

The next time you get behind the wheel of your car and are about to make a call, think about the consequences of your actions. It could be your son or daughter that you kill.

Mrs Jane Hibbard.
