'Going to be killed by ignorant fools'

Published: Monday, 06 April 2020

WE ARE currently self isolating on our boat on the Kennet & Avon at Newbury and now getting very anxious as over 70 with medical conditions, writes Paul.

We have to watch hoards of people (way more than usual) using the towpath, they are not observing safe distances and get abusive if challenged.  Young men are travelling in groups of up to 10 all within touching distance and seem in festive mood, they are not getting the message! 

Ignorant fools

We are going to be killed by ignorant fools.

I have tried CaRT (“What can we do?“).  The police (“We are spread too thin“).  Council (no answer).  Any ideas apart from mining the towpath?

For a variety of reasons I have to ask you not to use my name please (not least as am having issues with CaRT).
Your articles always chime with me.
