The White Line

Dear Sir - Now that an accident (which might have had fatal results) has occurred at one of the danger spots in the town, it is hoped that the Authorities will introduce the White Line again.

Last summer the line was invaluable to motorists and cyclists, and if the County Council paid more attention to the safety of road users than to the trimming of grass in our country lanes, then they would earn the thanks of the majority of the ratepayers.

The accident on Wednesday would have been averted had there been a white line, as last year, at the bottom of Baldock Road.

Yours faithfully, 

Calthorpe Cowley.

To the Editor, Buntingford Gazette

Dear Sir - As one who saw two wrecked cars at the junction of Baldock Road on Wednesday afternoon, it was quite clear that had the white line been in operation, as I am told that there was one last year, the accident would certainly have been avoided.

Buntingford seems to be full of death traps yet no steps are taken to avoid collisions at the many dangerous corners.

Yours faithfully,

C.F. Barker
