What a dissappointment in real terms this means that 20million > 16 million of us or so, area ctually missing out on everday occurances and more to the point they could be missing out of approx £300 in average annual savings as a result of Online price comparisons which are available to and for those embracing this easy to use technology

Just two of the useful and popular village centre facilities - which unfortunately do contribute to congestion

Congestion in B J village centre

-
Main St, Chestnut Grove, Meadow Lane, Padleys Lane, and Willow Wong
are all provide access which are vital to the “lifeblood” of our village centre, yet parking on these roads is becoming quite irresponsible, and is in danger of finally grid-locking the passage of pedestrians and vehicles into and thro the village

-
Sooner rather than later some measure of control will be inevitably and required to bring those thoughtless culprits to “heel” (heel- “walking” - that’s so “punny”) , for I ask why? Why is it that so many find it imperative to use the car for such a short journey from their homes within the village simply to get to the school and the few shops.

-

Why not walk ? This has many advantages - for as a vital component to our own and our children’s well being ( exercise), it will save us the expense of the disproportionately high petrol usage for such short journeys when using the car. Walking and not driving into the village centre also contributes to assisting us to reduce all our carbon footprints, ... plus more importantly, it will certainly provide some ease to those, both young and aged, who suffer with asthma, and,,,,, just as significant it will have a remarkable affect on the congestion, the safety of the elderly, ourselves and all our children in the village
-
The Main Street area certainly needs some traffic control/parking measures, particularly at the peak times - 4x daily “School Runs“. These “runs” bring an additional and coinciding time activity for Food shopping, the Post Office, the Chemist, Library, Doctors Surgery, Bus Stops to town and Southwell etc., plus the contiual mobile activity of exiting and returning back into the village.

Are the “powers that” be considering the situation ?,,
