After 16 months, I hopefully had my final treatment for breast cancer this morning. Thank you to all staff
@macmillancancer

Could I please ask families who are out for a walk not to spread across the entire width of the pavement and if someone is walking towards you please give them room or go in single file. Parents please ask your children to do this. Thank you

As the roads are quite empty can someone please explain to me why some grownup cyclists are cycling on the pavement? I've nearly been knocked over a couple of times while out walking and taken evasive action by jumping into a hedge. Not a good look.
