Some weeks ago I helped Councillor Gilbert Nockles and others to raise a petition asking the County Council to reconsider its decision to allow a school double decked bus to use Nags Head Lane as a cut through to Winsor Lane as it is an inappropriate and dangerous route. I presented and spoke about the concerns at County Council on 25 November. This lane is essentially rural in nature and as such has no footways or lighting and as a result residents of all aged and conditions have to make their way extremely carefully particularly in the rush hours and when it is dark or weather is inclement. In adding a vehicle of such a size to an already stressed lane it is very worrying to parents of children and other high risk groups. We hope that the County Council will look again at this decision and agree with the views of the community who have to live with it.
