There is a beef farmer at the other end and the lane is used as a shortcut by people who love to live in the country and work in the town. There is no need to use the lane as, being a single track with few passing places and a ford at the bottom, it is quicker to go round the other road. The signs have some of the cars but there are still the arrogant ones that continue to use it, thereby bringing the possibility of F & M to him or, if he does get it, spreading it to other people. We have asked the police to close the lane as there are just two houses on it at this end and, one mile away at the other end, one house and the beef farm, but even though we all want it closed they say you cannot close a public highway just like that....but it can be closed if he gets F & M!!!!! Talk about closing the stable door after the horse has bolted!!!!!!!! Maggie
