Meanwhile, Whittlesford's bid for speed reductions at Newton Road is a winner

I'm pleased that the bid made by Whittlesford Parish Council to the County under the Minor Highways Improvements Initiative has come up trumps. 

I spent two afternoons on the panel hearing all the bids - obv. I couldn't vote for my own villages - but the plans to get traffic to reduce speed coming into Whittlesford along Newton Road will be welcomed by residents and cyclists and equestrian-types all. The highways engineers are keen to work with the parish to find the best and most effective solution to the problem.
