IN response to Mr R Stewart, Crompton Way Residents' Group (The Bolton News, Monday, March 12).
As a regular user of Crompton Way on my motor bike, along with lots of my family and friends, I have very rarely seen bikers using this stretch of road as Brands Hatch or a T.T. course.
Believe me, you would know if we did.
Although I have all too often seen cars fighting for pole position where the traffic lanes merge from two into one at the lights at both ends of the mentioned stretch of road.
I would like to know exactly how many bikers have destroyed property, injured, or even killed anybody on this stretch. As far as we are aware - none.
Car drivers using mobile phones seem to me to be the main culprits, not bikers.
Please take a closer look at the facts, not fiction, for your proposed road changes, and for once give us bikers a break. We are fed up of always being blamed.
Mrs S Douglas Harwood Bolton
