MOTORISTS using Mill Street as a short cut are endangering the lives of pedestrians, according to one shop owner in the Old Quarter.
Glen Cooney opened Kids Direct a year ago and said the narrow cobbled street was often used as a through road by both delivery drivers and motorists.
‘We have parents coming in and out of the shop with buggies and young children and this traffic is all day and sometimes around 20mph, which is too quick.
Mr Cooney said it was not just delivery lorries that drove down the narrow street, but motorists who were frustrated by queuing in the Bordage and saw Mill Street as a quicker route to the seafront. (from thisisguernsey)

Apart from the fact that I can't see it being quicker why didn't he contact the Police first instead of the Press? Just wanted the free publicity for his shop?

t
This makes me mad as last year I had to fight with environment department for a permit to drive down there with the Briton in bloom judges ..it took a lot of letters and a few deputies to fight for this .
We got a permit for Sunday morning stating what time we would be driving down .and one for the Monday afternoon and had to state the time
so why are the driver getting away with it now as i was told the shop down there would take any numbers and report you to the police
like you say free publicity!
