Steaming ahead with rail campaign
The letter from Richard Lamb was timely (Rail Neglect, News Views, May 10). 

On Wednesday of last week the Newark MP, Mr Patrick Mercer, had arranged for a small delegation from Newark Business Club, Newark and Sherwood District Council and Nottinghamshire County Council to meet Theresa Villiers, Minister of State for Transport, to press for improvements to the Lincoln-Newark-Nottingham rail service.

 Our proposals had been developed in conjunction with a Stakeholder Board set up by East Midlands Trains and built upon a letter of support organised by the district council and signed by the leaders and/or transport portfolio holders of every local authority served by the line.

This had been sent to the minister in late March.
— (Councillor) ROGER BLANEY, Newark and Sherwood District Council.
 
Brakes on traffic
HAVING to step aside to make way for an impatient motorist is an experience many people walking through Newark Market Place will have gone through. We do so, of course, and are then left wondering why that vehicle is in the Market Place at all.

If the driver doesn’t have the correct permit, such as a blue badge, or is not loading or unloading at the permitted times, they should not be there.

Sadly, but inevitably in what seems to be becoming an increasingly selfish society, some see fit to ignore the restrictions.

They are in the wrong, but then compound that fact by assuming pedestrians and shoppers going about their business should immediately clear out of their way so they can take their short-cut, or visit the bank they clearly believe is too long a walk from any available parking area.
