6 A SPECIFIC question was tabled at the full council meeting at the Guildhall concerning the safety of all the users of the Scout Hut in Swanpool Walk, St John's.

All the parents of the Rainbows, Brownies and Guides will be pleased to know that if Sainsbury's development goes ahead their children will be "safe as they are now".

That means "safe" with 10 articulated lorries per day, plus shoppers' cars, a goods yard opposite, a sports centre entrance at the side and a pedestrianised Powell's Row with unexpected vehicles entering and leaving.

I apologise for all the time I have spent in misguided belief that your children's safety is at risk and is of paramount importance.
