Driving slowly through Gobowen is a rare skill. Whenever I come through Gobowen at 25-30 (past the playing fields towards St. Martins) I seem to have people trying to see if their car can fit up my exhaust. It's as though people think they have to be doing 40 to get up the hill!
I don't think the zebra crossing is too bad to be honest. It definitely needed something there, but I do wonder if it would have been better if it was past the T-junction opposite the shop instead of before it.
I thought it was about time I introduced myself really, I've been a member of the site since it opened, but haven't posted on it yet.
I'm Matt and I work with Lee in Oswestry, but I live in Overton so I'm not really part of any of the village sections of the site. I do drive through St. Martins or Gobowen (or both) most days though, so I know the area well and also know a lot of people from the area.
This site seems like a very useful tool for people to communicate about local matters, so I'll be keeping an eye out for local info! All I can add is that I've been using (and moderatind/administrating) large fora (I think that's the plural of forum) for many years now, so I am very into the spirit of forum life and how beneficial it can be.
To other people that have seen the site/read pages/joined but not yet posted: Get posting, it's here for you to use, it's a great way to promote local events, meet local people and have your say!
Well done to those invloved with setting up the site too, the Invision Power Board software is excellent now. I find it really user-friendly!
