Traffic calming village centre

I spoke to a parishioner yesterday worried about the work being done at the centre of the village. His concerns were as follows:

1. There is not enough room for the Remembrance Sunday Parade now that the footpath has been widened.
2. The areas designated for grassing will be muddy and unpleasant
3. Coming out of Court Road there is only one lane now leading to the blocking of cars during school drop off.
4. flooding


I appreciate the concerns but I think only the flooding is the critical issue and we are still waiting for a contact from Amey to come and look at it. There has been a build up of water opposite Marshalls and also near the Swan. 

On Remembrance Sunday there will have to be a bit of shuffling but I am sure the highway can accommodate the full parade. 

Hopefully the grass will eventually bed in. We need as much green as we can get.

The school drop-off and pickup is a relatively short time and there is massive congestion there anyway even at the best of times.

I will report to the parish council committees next Wed. You can either attend and give your views or email on cranfield1985@gmail.com
