IN response to the call for 20mph zones, whilst drivers do need to be more alert, they should not carry the whole burden of such terrible statistics.

I note the trial on the Stoops Estate in Burnley had wonderful results but I would be curious to see if other areas had such a large improvement.

There is room for a little road safety and parenting education, too.

I cringe sometimes as watch tots as young as two and three scuttle about seemingly alone or in the care of a sibling barely old enough to be out themselves.

Don’t they see it is too much responsibility to heap on ‘big bro’ or ‘sis’?
