It wasn't so bad as the one at Sainsbury's on Friday night, but yesterday an elderly lady crashed into the bollards on Pound Lane, Thatcham. I did my best to keep her warm with tea, and waited with her until the recovery truck arrived (write off I think), but this incident highlights the dangerous speed of which people travel along Pound Lane. Fair play to Keith Woodhams to raising the issue, but a reduced speed limit won't stop people from speeding on what is now effectively a rat run. The current limit is 30, but in the evening you can see cars whizzing by at upto 60... I would suggest a second part be added to the current half chicane outside veolia waste depot, then two speed ramps between the A4 and the chicane. Something must be done, or somebody will either be hit by a car one day, or a car will end up in somebody's garden or even their front room!!! |

Getting a little bored of him to be honest... he can never defend the council, so instead tries to pick at other peoples posts. I would love to know who he really is... problem is, he will always hide behind his fake user name... Obviously somebody with something to hide!!!
I can see why some people get annoyed with him, but it just makes me realise how much I want to get into Market Street and start making a difference!!! |

You'll need to sack some of the paid staff to make a difference !! |

I don't like the word sack... But "performance management" is something I am familiar with... Obviously the current administration don't do any of that... |

There is a Pound Lane in Newbury, well Speen to be presise, second left after the Shell filling station. An interesting feature is the "sheeps pound" where stray sheep were once penned and from which the road derives its name still exists alongside the A4. |

Yes, you're right actually. My point was this isn't anything to do with Newbury and seems to be more electioneering from Richard. |

Since when has Speen been in Newbury; according to your 'rules'?

I don't see a problem with that, in this case. |

So there is a Pound Lane in Speen and a Pound Lane in Thatcham - but there still isn't one in Newbury. |
