Ursula the Protester

This is Ursula, one of the dummies created by the A361 Direct Action Group. She is standing in Chilkwell Street and she becomes quite a talking point, with people stopping to admire her and sometimes taking photographs. I am glad that she's standing outside my house; I have provided her with a placard, and found an old pair of wellies to give her feet more substance and to keep them warm and dry.

She seems to me to be a good-humoured, creative way to gently make a point about the traffic, and sometimes to start conversations. She might even help to slow the traffic down. I am hoping that the idea will catch on, and a growing number of friendly 'protesters' will appear along the A361 roadside. I can recommend having such a figure outside your home. 

There are a couple more looking for a place to be, and I'm rather surprised that they haven't been snapped up in no time. Don't be shy! If you'd like one installed in your vicinity, contact Ramona: ramonabelcher23@gmail.com – or else make your own! Personally, I'd like to see them all along the roadside from Coursing Batch to the Street Road, as an artistic feature of Glastonbury life that in itself could attract some publicity. She's an enhancement to life beside the County Freight Route.
