Whiteshill gridlock last week

Last week a stange event occurred - could this be a new traffic calming measures implemented on Main road? See photos from Parish councillor Greg Dance of the red car parked in the middle of Main Road....

I was there at the time and the whole road came to a halt when the bus didn't want to attempt to get by...some cars mounted the pavement and managed to get by, meanwhile queues developed back almost to the Bird-in-Hand...

A couple of Number 93 Double deckers eventually after phoning their bosses managed to squeeze by.

The red car was locked, and handbrake was on, it just appeared to be dumped in the middle of the road. The Police eventually arrived and it seems the car belonged to somebody from Ryeford. The owner claimed she had parked the car by the old police houses and it must have rolled to this position, she was completely unaware of the traffic commotion being caused outside despite numerous doors being knocked on........
