My Amersham: Raymond Norris
Retired chartered surveyor Raymond Norris, 81, of Copperkins Lane, has lived in Amersham since 1965. Born in Berkhamsted, Mr Norris has travelled extensively particularly in the Far East.
Q: What do you think of Amersham?
A: It is a marvellous place and has a tremendous amount going for it. It's location is very good. It is handy for London but we are still in the country.
Q: Is there anything you dislike about the town?
A: It would be a good thing if the county council would get the roads repaired. It is not the fault of the district council who do a good job.
Q: What do you think of shopping in Amersham?
A: Shopping is very patchy in Amersham. The restaurants and cafes are very good. We did not use to have these in Amersham on the Hill.
Old Amersham is a nice place. The shopping there is a nice mix.
Amersham on the Hill needs better shops. We need a decent greengrocers shop in Amersham on the Hill."
Q: What do you think of the decision to switch off the lights along Amersham Road?
A: It is a pity.
I can understand the need to think about the environment.
Q: What about parking?
A: I never find car parking a problem.
It is a subject for the Old Town. I think, for instance, that if a new multi-storey was provided for the Old Town it would have to be done incredibly sympathetically.
Q: What are your more detailed reflections about the Old Town?
A: It is a very different kind of town to Amersham on the Hill. Old Amersham is a nice place. The shopping is quite different too. It is fine there.
