I WAS reading the news and catching up on events as I am not living in Wiltshire at present. I was sad to see the headlines on the motorcyclist with severe head injuries (Gazette, June 24).

I lost someone very close to me on June 1, 1984, Kevin Weston of Chippenham, who was a very great motorcyclist and racer.

When is the Chippenham area road officer going to do something about the road near Lyneham?

How many more families are going to lose sons, fathers and boyfriends? There should be more spent on road safety.
