BEFORE the introduction of postcodes, Bisterne Close, Burley, used to have north and south.
That is, those of us with BH24 4AZ were Bisterne Close south, and those with 4BA were north.
I mention this as again I was asked twice for directions, for addresses which were north.
Both drivers had driven past the properties without knowing it.
The close, being about one mile long, has a lot of time-wasting and it’s frustrating, especially for deliveries.
May I suggest signing for north and south? Or can we be allocated numbers?
In the meantime, I still await a signpost at Durmast Corner, which went missing about 55 years ago.
