LETTER: Do white lines on roads serve their purpose?
There has recently been discussion in the national press about whether the white painted lines on roads serve a purpose.
Locally there are two instances where driving would be very dangerous if the lines were not there.
Firstly the A5004 - Long Hill - where not so long ago both the central line and the edging lines were repainted making driving down from Buxton to Whaley Bridge, particularly on dark wet nights, considerably easier.
