Whiteshill and Ruscombe Parish meeting - newsletter, Lower Street and more

A frustrating day of computor problems: a faulty router - well that's what I'm told. Back online now and catching up with emails.

This evening Whiteshill and Ruscombe Parish meeting - got there half an hour early - just misread time - should know by now! Anyway the Parish indulged me in a few minutes of their time to feedback on some of the issues raised in this Blog - like the 20 mph, brook, Folly Farm footpath, street lighting etc.

It was a nice easy meeting with some laughs - sometimes meetings can be too boring and serious - getting the balance right is an art. Anyhow news not mentioned so far includes:

- a proposal for a temporary One Way route down Bell Pitch and along Lower Street until Lower Street is re-opened has been squashed and will not proceed due to many issues. The latest on Lower Street is that work will be after Christmas.

- I will be pursuing the possibilities of incorporating a Shared Spaces approach into the Parishes proposals for the Village Green and main road.

- Randwick School have just purchased a solid oak bench which is inserted 4ft into ground. It is beautiful to look at and very robust. The Parish are looking at similar for the Playing field.

- a newsletter for the Parish is getting closer - talk of an editorial committee beig set up - I've offered myself to help as am already writing stuff here - hopefully a first edition in New Year sometime.
