Harwell Village News and Gossip

I understand that the HPC (Mrs B) are now thinking about promoting a campaign to stop cars parking on pavements. This is bad and not in the public interest. why change after 20 years?

Harwell is a through route for a lot of traffic. Very important places of employment, such as the AEA and RAL are reliant on good and efficient road access for employees.

If this policy is successful then traffic efficiency will decline with traffic speeds decreasing from an average of 50mph to 30mph (OR LESS !!!).

Names from my school history come to mind --- Chartists, Plug Plotters, Tollpuddle Martyrs and Bolsheviks. Holding back progress for our wonderful village, unselfishly available to facilitate a greater good for the County, and in particular Didcot.

Some years ago the HPC provided reinforced areas for cars (outside the old newspaper shop and telephone box) ---- what a great and forward thinking generation (shades of H Wilson!).

Proof of positive contribution to pavement parking is seen daily opposite the Crown. No harm do here (pavement is badly damaged but no one walks on that bit anyway) and it keeps the road CLEAR.

Some argue that pavements should be left totally clear for wheelchair access --- I have lived in the village for twenty years and have not seen a wheelchair on the High Street pavements yet.

Mrs B must be stopped !!!!!
