6. A415 Newbridge River Thames Crossing
Councillor Bob Johnston (Shadow Member
for Strategic Transport Policy) is unable to attend the meeting and has asked
for the following comments to be considered by the Committee:
“I am pleased that the matter is
being considered again. I think that there are two key points.
1. The local people
should be fully consulted as the project is worked up.
2. What consideration will be given to
sparing the inhabitants of Standlake in particular from the worst effects (or
indeed all) of the increased HGV traffic which must surely follow the building
of a new bridge which as I understand it will be able to take HGVs without
restriction?”
13E Bus Service Subsidies
The
Chilton Parish Council have submitted the following comments with regard to
Service 32/33:
“Whilst the Parish
Council regret the loss of service to Newbury, they understand the
reasons. The Parish Council would wish to see an extension of the
32/33 route into Chilton Village so that there will be a service to Didcot.
This is very necessary because there is a small but
not insignificant number of Chilton residents (mainly pensioners equipped
with bus passes) who use a bus service to travel to Didcot for the hospital,
the Woodlands Medical Centre, the library, civic hall and CAB, the Didcot
Health Centre, the Orchard Centre and the railway station. Some provision
must be made for this community to travel to Didcot for these purposes and
return at reasonable times.”
