'People shouldn’t be defacing road markings' - Your Letters: August 29
PICTURE FROM THE ARCHIVE: A picture from 2016. The caption reads: ‘It’s been an exciting term for Grove School students of Market Drayton who have had the chance to become anti bullying ambassadors and art students also broadened their knowledge at the contemporary Saatchi Gallery in London.’
RED PAINT IS NOT THE RIGHT WAY
As someone who was born here in the UK and has been going to work since the age of 16, I can understand the anger people from similar backgrounds have towards the current state of this country and the world.
The painted on roundabouts and road markings in this country are a marvellous invention that facilitate safe travel and transport whether you’re on a bus or in a car.
Yet recently people insist on going around with red paint marking the markings with a cross in an act of frustrated patriotism.
I can fully understand why - but people shouldn’t be defacing the road markings, thus holding up everyone’s essential journeys to work, to school, to the shops, etc. because we all need to be somewhere!
