WHAT you’ve been saying on our Facebook page:
●●WOMAN, 63, crossing the road on mobility scooter dies in collision involving HGV. Her daughter paid heartbreaking tribute, saying: “She was just scootering into town to pick up some shopping and now she’s gone.” (February 4)
Tina Czawro: So sad my thoughts go to all of you. Anthony Brennan: They need to put up traffic lights in that spot.
David John Joseph Crabtree: Definitely. The subways are dodgy especially at night.
Putting a traffic light crossing there would give people a safe way to cross as well as slow traffic down, avoiding speeding drivers to end up crashing through the subway barriers and retaining walls and ending up in those subways, just like the three cars that have done so over the past 18 months.
●●ROCHDALE Town Hall looks brilliant after a multi-million pound transformation (February 2):
Annette Croney: I would of preferred the money to go towards housing, as my friend waited 5 and half YEARS to get a home, and ill probably be even longer.
There’s no homes.
Saqib Bashir: Different source of funding, different budget.
Gary Osbaldeston: Be nice with a car park near by so people could come and have a look at it.
Tony Smith: Pity they can’t spend the same on the pot holes fame
If he’s our MP
I’m sure you’ll agree For all sorts of fun he’ll be game!
And who’s this Reform UK bloke?
Simon Danczuk’s back – honest,no joke!
Once Labour MP
He’s changed now you see
As he reckons Labour’s “too woke”!
There’s one party I could suggest
Who surely stand out from the rest
Raving Loonys sound great
And their candidate Ravin Rodent seems one of the best!
I’ll let you know what they’re about
I’ve just checked their policies out
Once you’ve seen their views
Like me you might choose
To vote Raving Loony no doubt!
Their policies aren’t half amusing
This could be the party I’m choosing
They’ll bring us much jollity
With all their frivolity They’re great fun and never mind losing!
This policy’s one of their best:
Jobseekers must stand two abreast
The best way it’s true To halve the dole queue A vote winner I would have guessed!
Our country – once they run the show
Won’t go to the dogs anymore
Cos they have a plan For a dog racing ban
Greyhound racing will be a no-no!
And lastly – and you’ve gotta laugh
(And OK this joke’s pretty naff!)
If you’ve booked an X-ray
Expect a delay
Cos they’ll get done with skeleton staff!
