AS incomers to Darwen, my family and I have felt at home here. The only disgruntling point is the speed in which some idiots drive through the town's streets. The only people who should be driving fast are the Flashing Blue lights brigade.

Police speed traps? I welcome them. It's not just car drivers who speed, more seriously, lorries which thunder down the A666 much faster than they should.
