  1. Everyone single person involved in helping the cyclist should be massively congratulated.

    You quite simply do a remarkable job and one that you all should be extremely proud of.

    Nothing short of outstanding professionalism and teamwork from every single person at that scene.

    As I drove past the bottom of the road closure it looked to be a very serious, which is why I feel the work you do in situations like this should be recognised.

    Again, excellent work and also best wishes to the person involved – hopefully their recovery is swift and positive.

  2. Great work shame about the fools who don’t want to move or give room to let you work or take off safely

  3. Thank you for the information about the gentleman who was injured in Crown Way, Lillington. I called the emergency services, and waited with the man until you arrived. I was wondering how he was. Thank you all for your prompt service!
