Back Lane will be closed overnight tonight as a 40 foot Portuguese registered lorry has become stuck at the bottom. It was delivering to Brampton Hall farmyard and was following the sat-nav. The police have confirmed that it would be too dangerous to back it out tonight but it should be moved shortly after daybreak on the 4th December.
Brampton has shown its best side tonight. The driver of the vehicle speaks little English and yet people have made sure he has hot drink and food.
Street Sweeping in Brampton
The Parish Council has been making a fuss about the condition of “The Street” and “Back Lane” and have asked that the roads be cleaned. We have just received their reply which is – : The Highways technician has inspected the roads in question and as “the wheel tracks” were clear they would not be sweeping them.
Residents are requested to individually complain to the Highways to build up a head of complaint steam. Their reply does not take into account the fact that the roads are also used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Nor does it take account of thee fact that vehicles still have to manoeuver through the slough in order to pass one another. To follow their argument logically they would never grit a road if wheel tracks are there to be seen.
UPDATE (28/11) -: We are advised that the farmer is about to start cropping the Sugar Beet. This will inevitably lead to more mud and disruption but agricultural necessity dictates that this is an unavoidable consequence of the harvest (and we all need sugar). The farmer in question had however stated that he will clean-up once the harvest has been collected. If the road becomes too bad please let us know.
