Ban roadside parking to improve safety
I was very interested in the article about the irresponsible parking around Newark’s KFC and McDonald’s restaurants (Mother Highlights Safety Fear, Advertiser, August 13).

Obviously there is a time limit on parking at McDonald’s so a lot of people park on the roadside in Harvest Drive.

The big wagons, and even coaches, have nowhere else to park so they too park on the roadside in Harvest Drive.

I live in Wheatsheaf Avenue and my route home in my car on most days takes me down Harvest Drive.

On a mission
Not only has the calendar a helpful list of useful liturgical dates, but each month provides a focus for many aspects of church work.

Under the supervision of Southwell’s Dean, the Very Rev John Guille, Southwell Minster had a facelift with the establishment of a website now attracting 100 hits daily.

The layout and presentation of the glossy pages in the calendar are top class with an exemplary use of pictures. Full marks to whoever created the design.

Relevant statistics underscore the church’s challenges. Serving a million people in 847 square miles, the diocese has 566 licensed ministers with 312 churches and 70 church schools.
