It's about time some sort of restriction was put on to the riding of cycles in Fore Street and both cycles and skateboards on the Parade.

It is only a matter of time before an accident will occur, and it could be quite serious and probably involve a more elderly person who is less alert to the dangers.

The youngsters career through the streets, without a thought for others, at times knocking into them, even knocking shopping out of their hands. The skateboarding is as bad, jumping off the varied Parade levels and landing right next to shocked pedestrians.
