I THOUGHT there was a certain irony in two of the items on page 6 of the 16 January Andover Advertiser.

In one item Hampshire County Council is complaining about A-boards being a hazard to pedestrians and in the other TVBC is considering an application by the John Russell Fox pub to put tables and chairs in the well-used George Yard walkway.

Presumably blind people find it easier to negotiate around tables and chairs.

I find it ridiculous that there are two separate Government departments concerned with what goes on to Andover’s pavements.
