Pedestrian crossings finally come to Franklin Avenue...

Today I met with residents, alongside representatives and officers of Hamphire County Council concerning proposed changes to transport andinfrastructure around Tadley.  I havebeen lobbying hard withothers for a pedestrian crossing on Heath End road, between Shyshack lane and Woodlands road, whilst I know that this is out of my ward, this crossing is a must to ensure the safety of the children of Tadley getting to and from the Hurst School. After pushing hard to get this sorted out for the new school year I am pleased to tell you that work is planned to start on September 28th and will be finished in a few days.  A big Thank You to Rachael Sandy of Hampshire County Council. 

I have been pushing hard for three crossings in Franklin Avenue, one at the Bishopswood road end of the Avenue, one near the Coop and finally one acrossthe avenue near the Fire Station to the HolmwoodSurgery These crossings are desperately needed as more andmore traffic is using Franklin avenue as a rat run, so avoiding the disaster of the traffic at Falcon roundabout it is important to secure these crossings ensuring that residents do not have to continue to take their lives in their hands each time they want to cross this very busy road.  

I have been pushing for more crossings at the roundabout near the swimming pool.  This is another area where traffic is extremely busy and local residents have great difficulty in crossing the road.

Residents of Silchester Road will be happy to hear that the speed limit between the Broomsquire pub and Pamber Heath will be lowered shortly to 40 miles per hour, which should reduce accident rates in this area. 

Travellers behind Barclays Bank

The travellers who arrived outside Barclays Bank last week have now been served with a formal notice to leave under Sect. 97 of 1994 Criminal Justice Act. They must leave by 9:30 tomorrow. If they fail to do so, the Borough Council on behalf of Tadley Town Council will issue proceedings in court on Monday next week meaning that if they still fail to move, they can be removed by force with the assistance of Hampshire Police.

Concerned Residents will be pleased to know that they have now moved on to pastures new, and the clean up will now commence. 

Charity Banger Rally

Over the August bank holiday I was privileged to take part in a Rally, driving a car worth less than £150 from Calais, France to Valencia, Spain and back...via San Remo and Monaco. all in 5 days.  We raised money for the National Autistic Society, currently £540.  if you want to read more then please follow the link below

It's been a busy three months.......

Phew it's been a busy three months  since I was elected.  I have taken up positions on three committees, Housing and Planning, Recreation and Leisure and Finance and Group Resource.  Splitting my time between these committees and learning about my new duties has meant a massive learning curve, but it has been an extremely satisfying time helping residents resolve their issues.  I look forward to meeting more of you out and about around the ward.
