As soon as motorcyclists and saftey are mentioned thet are very reactive. I sent an email to the council about a particulary bad pot hole near where I live and the implications of riding a bike. I had a quick response and the pothole was fixed within a few days. They are frightened of getting sued.
What is the Parish priest doing trying to get involved in road maintenance issues for? Bloody clown, another example of the catholic church thinking it's bigger than it is. They should mind their place.
