CONGRATULATIONS on keeping the Sportsman’s Arms (Warrington Guardian, September 15).

Now can we remove those ugly and pointless crates of plants which give a horrible impression of Penketh as you drive through?

As cars cross the dual carriageway to turn into Warrington they are effectively making a blind turn.

This has caused a considerable number of near misses and horn blowing and will ultimately cause a serious accident.

Trees would have been much more aesthetically pleasing, cheaper, requiring less maintenance and much safer.

I have not met anybody in Penketh who likes them yet.
