 “It’s only since I’ve been walking everywhere that I noticed the “grot spots” and dangerous locations in my town. Safe and snug from my car, I hardly noticed what life was like for the more vulnerable pedestrian. Speaking to local residents I came to realize that other foot-traveling folk had the same concerns about litter, dog dirt, the absence of street lighting, dangerous driving and impossibly placed road crossings. I decided I should do something about it, so I wrote to my local council. And do you know what? They actually thanked me for bringing these issues to their attention! I was kept informed of their progress and can happily say that they have taken action on all but one issue! I believe we should do our best to action stuff instead of just talking or moaning about it. It’s amazing what can be achieved with a little positive effort!” — Jules
