However, regarding their point about the lane being safe for pedestrians, while walking along it during the current closure we were nearly cut up by a speeding mail van, no doubt delivering mail to the above-mentioned cottages.

As for disturbance to the wildlife, having enjoyed the park for many years, we are sure that it is quite able to co-exist with the traffic.

Thanks to the Guardian for the interest shown, we are now about to sign the petition at our newsagents.
