While we are waiting...

...waiting for a response to the query from HCC, that is, let's kick off another bit of citizen-council interaction.

The footpath leading under the A34 is a fine way to cycle or walk from Whitchurch to Tufton. Until you get under the A34, that is. Then you are confronted with a mass of vegetation that forces you to teeter precariously along the kerb, in the face of 60MPH traffic coming off the slip road. On a bike this is a very dicey maneuver, as the kerb is slanted and just begs to flip your front wheel off and dump you into the highway.

So using the fabulous HCC online reporting tool, I've lodged an 'overgrown Hedge/Tree' job.



















Here's a piccy of what it looks like, as approached from the Whitchurch side of the underpass:

The tracking number is 111001136773. Let's see how this one goes.

    Seriously, good work here, my friend.
