Parking sensibly in Whittlesford


Popped in to the Post Office to get some stamps and return some Euros from youngest son's trip to Belgium - and to buy some of the new range of carrot cake in Massey's. Local postmistress Chris is very happy with the new traffic sign I got the Highways department to put up limited parking to 30 minutes, so that people don't just park outside the village shop and clear off for a few hours. And she was even happier that the local police community officers had dished out a parking ticket during one of their recent drop-bys!

There does seem to be a lot of parking in Whittlesford at the moment which seems to be causing people a pain - whether on the Lawn for football, or at the entrance to Maynards, or on the Duxford Road as the commuters park further up to avoid the £5.50 daily fee at the station. I've suggested that the parish council have a discussion next time to see what might be done. And there still is the yellow paint tin that the County Council handed over which might be put to use.
