Quoted from Greenham Common

I believe to be a matter of rank incompetence not to have insisted on a bridge build before occupancy.

Quite, and as I understand it, the agreement is for the 300th house, not once 300 houses have been sold. And so if the designated 300th house remains as a showhouse (i.e. not sold) then the bridge will probably not be built for another 5 years.

Remember that we are talking about a planning agreement arranged by the same people who sold our car parks for a quid.

Update,
There are now 5 temporary cctv cameras on the approach to the level crossing from the burys bank side,

has some one woken up to the fact that this is now becoming a major issue?

I think you'll find these cameras are all part of the package that the local Councillors have mustered up as part of the £10k 'Transport Study' .  The cameras are up ... woop-de-do  "Here's the report which says nothing you didn't already know. Now hand over the money"

Nice to see the money not wasted!!!!

So where are these cameras being monitored if they were installed as part of a council led transport study or are they part of Network Rail's attempt to prove that we don't need a bridge and feed back to the signal box.
Mind you, there were loads of surplus cameras left over when we went digital in Newbury and other West Berks areas so perhaps they are freebies.

They had gone by the following day so we may never know, although I feel better about the one I saw at the top of Sandpit hill that time.

Not going mad after all!!

Are you sure that there were cameras on the crossing. The mind sometimes plays funny tricks and a camera obsession has plagued the forum in the past.
