Three bits of activity all about keeping Whittlesford green and looked after. (1) Had a call from a coach driver telling me that driving in Whippletree Road is risky for high vehicles because of the trees and branches that have fallen over and are sticking into the road. It forces buses and lorries into the centre of the road, which is a bit risky for people coming the other way. People riding down there told me the same thing. It is an amazing road to go along because the trees meet overhead about fifty feet up, making it a huge green tunnel. Not sure that it might be a bit spooky at night. Anyway, I spoke to the County roads people who finally agreed there was a problem and are now working with the landowners to get the trees cut back. (2) People living in housing association properties in Maynards had some problems with the standards of the contractors who were supposed to keep the area maintained. I spoke to Cambs Housing Association who overhauled the contract (and maybe the contractor!) and things are being spruced up. (3) Here's an interesting hedge, in the middle of a field at the back of Orchard Terrace. We need to keep an eye on that hedge, because it may become a marker for development on the other side of it, if the County gets to sell off its farmland and someone is allowed to build there.
