Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 30th October 2016
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. After
nearly a hundred and seven years of wrangling, the Parish Council has announced
the location of the new cycle lane in the village. It will be built for about 200 yards along
the side of the High Street, but actual construction work will not commence for
several years, due to wrangling over the £312 cost, further environmental
impact analysis, and the rash of expected High Court challenges from residents
living along the intended route.
2. Last
Wednesday saw the intended clearing of the squatter’s camp in the woods near
Stoney Lane. However, the squatter is
still actually there, since he was classified as a “vulnerable child” by the
authorities. Social Services are now investigating
the needs of the 32-year old child before any final decision can be made on the
future of his tent. The idea had been to
move the squatter to another part of Bromham where he would have been free to
be a blot on the landscape in a different part of the village, but that plan is
now on hold.
3.
