The dangerous crossroads at Fiddlers Hamlet is now safer, thanks to the efforts of resident Simon Pratt-Adams and local district and county councillor Janet Whitehouse. On the day Simon moved in, a car crashed into his garden- and it happened again last summer.

"I'm glad these safety measure are in place" said Janet "But it's still a dangerous junction and drivers need to drive with care".
