“Sir – While the streets are so dark I think perambulators should not be allowed on the pavements after sunset, as they add considerably to the danger. I myself nearly had a fall owing to them, and several other ladies have had the same experience. There is, in addition, the risk of the perambulator being upset and the child seriously injured. When there are no lights every care ought to be taken to prevent accidents. Yours, etc.” Read more

To make the sale a success, I need uniform!! So, please could any donations be taken to Haslingfield School Office at your own convenience. The School Office is happy to accept donations from now onwards. Any queries, please feel free to contact me – Louise – lou.norman@btinternet.com. Many thanks for your time.
