Hey Green Wellies. Thanks for explaining, and fair comment.

As for cars speeding through the village, yes we know all about that one too. We have village lanes without footpaths, thus pedestrians walking on the roads. Lots of horses on the lanes, especially at weekends. Dog walkers. Families with children on bicycles. Ramblers groups coming through pretty often too. Children dismounting school buses. And so on. And then of course the speeding cars using the village as a convenient shortcut between the two towns which bookend it... and completely disregarding other more vulnerable road users. The rights and wellbeing of any village community in my view should take precedence over vehicles traveling through. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work that way.
