Ah, the sound of the band, the sight of a parade of rather smartly turned out gentlemen (or ‘Odd Fellows’ take your pick…) wearing white gloves and carrying sticks, the sparkling of Lou’s jewellery stand at the ‘Market Place’, the smell of Janet and Paula’s burger stand…it could only be the start of Wakes!

Certainly the increase in traffic on these roads because of the closure of the B5056 is more likely to increase the chances of an accident, but are the overgrown summer verges exacerbating [...]
