22:0785987just read about an incident that happened mid afternoon on saturday in biggin street.
a chap in a white fiesta appeared to drive deliberately at a girl on a pedestrian crossing resulting in her suffering a knee injury.
the 13 year old claims that the driver laughed at her after bowling her over.

08:0786010No I don't Howard and I am very sorry for the little girl; people drive up Cannon Street and Biggin Street (from the Market Square) with impunity and not even the Police (when they are in Town) stop them.
I've seen a police car poodle up Cannon Street, passing a stationery car and not do anything about it.
If it's against the law, it's against the law and enforcement should be exercised.
Just a thought Howard, where's the predestrian crossing in Biggin Street, I didn't know there was one ? It's a pedestrian precinct.

10:5386035i have no idea where the crossing is roger, i thought it odd when i read the report.
i have seen a police car being overtaken by a bicycle in cannon street, no chance of them getting out and fining the wrong doer.

14:3486065sounds like a madman, hope he is caught.
sounds like a totally innocent pedestrian, car revved up and drove direct at the young girl who luckily isnt seriously hurt
but is on crutches

16:3486083The report appeared to have been filmed outside Barton Road Primary School, near to where she lives perhaps?

20:4186112I know the Family in fact the Dad works with me,and the Grandmother lives very close to Terry,it is disgusting if that is what happened,although not surprising as some motorists think they are the only ones on the road.
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!
