The day the Speeders disappeared

An amazing thing happened on my road on the day of the recent Royal Wedding. For the first time I actually saw children playing football outside my door, on the road. It was a shock as I did not realise how many kids lived on my road. It was a lovely day. There was no speeders and no cut through drivers to be seen or more specifically to be heard. Our road was blocked off and the community came out and celebrated, it was a real street party, because for that day the residents of my road were allowed to be a community.
