Neighbours come together for a protest march... against broken street lights

Lowestoft Journal writes...For two years parts of the A47 in Lowestoft has been plunged into darkness.

Broken street lights have not been fixed by National Highways - despite numerous reports being raised by locals.

Now to highlight the issues a protest march of around one-and-a-half miles is set to take place in the coastal town.

A group of locals said the ongoing situation had become so bad that it was now "an accident waiting to happen."

Three maps of our Historic High Street, showing the Tramway. 

About three years ago my already rather old laptop started behaving very erratically - sudden freezing, getting slower and slower - generally, becoming a pain.

Eventually I worked out it was overheating. Usually this is dust on the fan. Dust everywhere, in fact. I knew fixing this would mean taking the thing apart,and worse, putting it back together again. The other options - getting a replacement or taking it to a computer shop for repair, both involved cost, and replacement a great deal of hassle (transferring all the files and so on).

This postcard is amazingly franked 31st July 1914, just four days before Britain declared war . The message reads "Having a [illegible] time here. [Illegible illegible] great excitement in the camp here about the war. We are [illegible] to a nice? tea."

At the junction of St Peter's Street and the High Street there's a big sign saying 'Pedestrian Zone'. It looks quite clear to me but cars regularly pass by it. There were two signs but one of the signs was removed about a couple of weeks ago. Don't know why, or by whom.

The cars, the vans, even the bicycles, in that triangular area and down the road have long caused problems to people who foolishly think that when a big official sign says 'Pedestrian Zone' that's what it means.
