Letters to the Editor Car Accident One peaceful, sunny Sunday afternoon in August, I had a car accident in North End, Meldreth. Minor injuries heal and regrets have now faded, but I do not forget the efficiency and kindness shown by the many people who came to my rescue and who looked after me. Everyone who helped showed compassion and good sense and was a credit to the community. I cannot thank you enough for all that you did. With best wishes Hilary Sage
Village Traffic I would be surprised if I were the only person in the village to be dismayed by the number of very large trucks travelling through the village. It’s not clear where they are coming from but I suspect some may be getting sent this way by satnavs and, of course, they are slowly destroying our roads. Much more alarming is the way in which tractors with trailers are driving around the village. We expect tractors in the countryside but as I was driving home from Shepreth I almost came to grief. As I reached the College Farm right hand bend this huge tractor, travelling too fast, with its offside wheels on my side of the road, forced me to jam on my brakes or end up in a ditch. Of course the driver didn’t slow down, stop or apologise. Can I ask any of our local farmers who read Meldreth Matters to try to persuade their workers to drive more carefully?
