The new pavement on Station Road from the village hall to The Ridings, which is part of the safety measures for the new development, may look nice but from what I experienced last week, the new pavement defeats the object.

I have just returned to SR after a few months and to my horror I discovered that their is a proposal to split up our Parish. This is worse than Brexit. I do not want our Parish broken up and I hope that this proposal can be stopped.

So sad that wherever we walk in the village we see garden verges and road verges covered in dog faeces. It really isn't difficult to carry a couple of polythene bags and clean up after your dog rather than leave it for the householder to have to remove before they can mow their verge or worse, not see it an...

I sat in my lounge, no tv, no radio, nothing, all I could hear was the wind blowing and bird noises, no train horns, no vibration of HGVs, no fast cars, it was tranquility. I woke up today with all the noise back again, did I dream it all ? I want snow all year round.
