SWINDON becomes a more horrifying nightmare every week.

A few weeks ago three people were nearly knocked down on the pedestrian crossing in Newport Street. A car was racing round the corner from Devizes Road at about 60mph, the driver virtually stood on the brakes.

Vehicles frequently shoot the lights on that crossing. Strangers to the town may not realise there is a crossing just around the corner. A warning notice should be erected.

On another point, when I was a child there were concerts in the Town Gardens but they were never heard in our garden. Now the amplified noise is unbearable. Last Saturday it drowned out the radio indoors. Could we please have some peace?
