Charbridge Lane Closure

Some villagers may have noticed that there is a sign on the Charbridge Lane indicating a road closure between 29 April and 2 May.

We have been informed that Charbridge Lane is scheduled for top dressing, but it is not possible to specify an exact date at the moment – mainly because it is a rolling programme which is dependent on the weather.

It is likely to actually be closed for about three hours at some point over those days.

A post to request kindness

Perhaps all those who have commented negatively and personally on the recent Speedwatch posts (both on the village groups and TVP Cherwell’s post – which appears to have now been removed) should reflect on how they would like to be on the receiving end of such negativity?

The comments affect actual people.

These people may just be a photograph on a screen to you but they are people who simply wanted to help their community by doing something positive to support the village to reduce the speed of the traffic. The traffic speeds which have been steadily increasing over time as more and more drivers use the village roads as a rat run – often with very little respect for the people who live here.

Let’s hope that the installation of the new Speed Indicator Devices have more effect.

Because, as a result of all last week’s unpleasantness, it is unlikely that the Speedwatch group will continue.
