On reflection

Local children in the dark

On reflection
Cyclists need to be seen

Thank you for bringing us your weekly roundup of news. It is much appreciated to keep in touch inside and outside lock down.

One matter I would like to mention which readers may appreciate:

I was driving home from Rye around 4:45pm, and I was concerned at seeing school children cycling in the dark with no lights or reflective clothing.

A youngster, possibly around 14, had a black coat, black trousers and shoes and no lights.  It was a miracle we saw him frankly.

I wondered whether there could be a notice in Rye News, reminding parents that their kids need to be protected on the roads.

Maybe schools can also be made aware to make small reflective strips available for school bags or bikes?

I would be willing to help get this off the ground as a campaign if necessary.
