Pet hearbreak
Published Date:

Please could you ask drivers to drive slowly through villages and take note of the 30mph limit, as we are at the end of our tether where I live, with people driving like lunatics. So far we have had at least nine cats hit in nine years with only four survivors.
I live in Chilton Street, near Clare, a 30mph zone, but very few people manage to stick to this, especially late at night and early morning, when they seem to think it's a race track.
There are several people in the street who own cats and, sadly, last week yet another cat was killed on the road. She was a much-loved pet and the owner is deeply upset – not just by the loss, but at the fact that whoever hit her displayed no remorse and no respect, just leaving her in the road.
So this is a plea to all drivers not only going through Chilton Street but all villages to please take care – is it worth killing someone's pet just to get to your destination five minutes quicker? If you do hit a cat, or any animal, is it not the least you can do to put it on the side of the road?
