Residents in a rev over rally menace

WE are on the motor rally route most years and for such residents there are considerations which don’t appear to be taken into account when permission is given to close the roads.

Residents are effectively imprisoned in their houses for a whole day (approximately 10.30am to 5pm).

Notice is given only to householders on the route so nobody else is aware of what roads are to be blocked. Publicity is hopeless; no posters or flyers as far as I can see. There is an advertisement in a newspaper: tough if you didn't pick up the relevant copy, though.
