No Plan B

Beancroft Road? Yes closed for two days. I'm indebted to Cllr David Toland in Marston for flagging this up though I wasn't able to post that it would be closed during the day. I was Cranfield-bound on Monday but has a trip to London, Tuesday and in my usual, locally knowledgeable, smart-ass way decided to head for Luton Airport parkways , park there and pick up Thameslink, instead of Flitwick.

Anyway I didn't reckon  on a broken down coach near J11, two lanes closed and a 75 minute journey which usually takes 20 minutes. Ho hum. On the way home up from Salford,  I sped past the long miserable queue tailing back to the bowstring T junction. If you live or work in Cranners and Marston Hill/Beancroft is closed there is no sensible Plan B. :-((

Plan B? I don't think so

Beancroft Road

We are on the alert all the time for unexpected road closures after Marston Hill in July. There is a closure planned on Beancroft Road near Marston on Monday and Tuesday this week but I don't have the times including whether it will be during the day.   More updates when I have them...

Memorial Garden

The Memorial garden in the cemetery is suffering in the heat. It is supposed to be low maintenance but it has only been in two months since it went in. Hopefully our landscape contractors will be able to sort the current wilting look but it should not need weeded or watered on a regular basis.

Bottom of Beancroft Road is strange now that it has been diverted onto the new road and the new roundabout. I have been downloading and printing google satellite images of the area over the last two years tracking the enormous changes. Soon it will be hard to remember what any of it was ever like.
