News From Bromham - Dateline Sunday 30th October 2016

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.       For details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local radio station Carrot FM.
