A POOLE man who attended the Die-in in London at the weekend described it as “moving”.

Andy Hadley, who is objecting to a one-way gyratory system in Poole town centre, was among hundreds of people taking part in the event from Oxford Street to Marble Arch.

“We walked the length of Oxford Street behind a lone bagpiper and a horse-drawn hearse, with at least 400 people taking part (police estimate), but of course the streets were full of shoppers,” he said.

The dramatic demonstration included the coffin to victims of road violence placed infront of the arch and speeches from a range of traffic victims, a doctor and a councillor at the Stop the Killing rally.

Among them was Bart Chan from Poole, who was knocked off his bike in London and fell under a seven-tonne tipper truck, suffering severe injuries, six months ago.

The 27-year-old believed he was going to die.

He suffered ripped tendons, ligament damage to his left shoulder, a bone-deep wound on his right elbow and a hole in his right knee.
