The Forties Weekend

Nice to see another good turn out for the annual Forties Weekend. It is heartening to know that so many people visit for this amazing event, they are the ones who make it what it is.
It does have to be said that the traffic management, especially on Sun Street, was shambolic. By 3pm many no parking bollards had disappeared and there were just as many visiting cars there as usual. Asking residents to park elsewhere on the eve of the event, without prior consultation, is a joke and locals were rightly annoyed at the Village Association expecting them to "roll over" and accept such short notice.
However one must be careful of who one criticises in blogs or elsewhere for it often comes back to bite you in the most unexpected way!
