• Road Closure in Brampton

    There is to be a road closure in Brampton starting on 20th September to do with BT works (possibly associated with the project to bring faster Broadband).
    The following is a quote from the order – “NORFOLK COUNTY COUNCIL has made a Temporary Traffic Order affecting the U57099 Marsham Road from its junction with U57291 The Street to its junction with U57099 Oxnead Road in the PARISH OF BRAMPTON because of BT street cabinet, power installation, ducting and overhead cabling connection works.
    The road will be temporarily closed (except for access) from 20th September 2016 to 3rd October 2016 for the duration of the works, expected to be about 14 days within the period”.
  • When is a Roundabout not a Roundabout?

    Ans: When it’s a triangle

    I refer of course to the triangle of land on which the village sign sits. There have been a number of very near misses with vehicles here cutting through to the right hand side enroute from the village to Buxton. The trouble is that it is completely blind and vehicles using this slip tend to do so in each direction at some speed. I think that a serious accident is only a matter of time. We must remember that school children wait here when its term time and there’s often horses and ramblers as well. Ironically it is safer at night as the oncoming lights can be seen but this wouldn’t save a child or a horse.

    I have taken to treating this triangle as a roundabout by keeping to the left of it in each direction. I would like to see others doing the same thing …… what do you think?
