Today, Jane, Lynne and I went to the St. Bartholomew Councillor's Surgery (first Thursday of every month, 7:30-8:30pm at Hyde Parish Hall) to find out how things are progressing in Abbotts Barton. Here are a few short notes from our conversation with Jim Maynard and Dominic Hiscock:
Parking restrictions
The agreed restrictions (see Parking page) are due to become active very soon, possibly even already sometime in July. However, first street signs will have to go up and line markings on the roads will have to be done. Also a four week notice will have to be given for people to get their parking licenses.
Council house development
Please see the update on the Save The Parks site.
Football Club
The Football Club wants to update its facilities to allow for better running of the place and to attract more people. This could mean that there might be space for our community to be used (meeting room and possibly other purposes). Winchester City Council is working with the Club at the moment to make plans. Is there anything you want? If you have any ideas please forward them to your councillors and we would be interested to hear them as well (please use the comments section below).
A crossing for Worthy Road
The Abbotts Walk development had to pay some money under section 106 towards highway funding. The idea is to use it for a proper crossing on Worthy Road near the Stoke Road bus stop.
20mph speed limit
The 20mph speed limit is going to be rolled out all over Winchester. The first areas to get this implemented are Stanmore and Highcliffe, then there will be most likely a year before this is rolled out to other areas of Winchester.
