Arborfield Garrison SDL (Crest Nicholson/Marino Family Trust), Arborfield and Newland Village Design Statement, this page on the Wokingham Borough website, decided to close all their Berkshire titles in favour of an online only model, Eversley village produce Road Safety Leaflet. Residents of Arborfield village have formed their own action group specifically to campaign on the bypass and their website can be found at http://arborfield-action-group.org. Read our helpful guide and make your essay writing easier. Firstly the issue of the trucks going to and from the site through the residential area past the pre-school continues to roll on. 3. As you may know, the junction is currently the second highest ranked accident blackspot in the whole of Hampshire, with an ongoing catalogue of serious accidents over the years, as such Hampshire County Council has managed to obtain Government funding to replace the current staggered crossroads with a roundabout. As a number of members have pointed out both to us and the council the revised documents are not conducive to easily seeing what has changed as they are presented as new documents with no change tracking. We suspect the high level representation from Hampshire County Council will also be concerned about this. There are also notable gaps demonstrating a lack of understanding of local roads, so for example in Finchampstead restricting Park Lane and slowing traffic through California Crossroads without doing anything to Church Lane and White Horse Lane is a recipe for people rat running along White Horse Lane, a common problem currently when there are holdups at California Crossroads after a closure of the A327. There was a recent meeting to discuss the school plans in more detail where the plans were revealed. What is more interesting is that they informed us that the trucks were being routed according to a plan in the section 106 agreement between themselves and Wokingham Borough Council, and sent us a copy of the plan that had been supplied to them, which does indeed show that the route through the middle of the Garrison alongside the route around the A327 and along the southern part of Sheerlands Road. As the new development starts to be built, a key part of the plan from both the developers and Wokingham Borough to try and stop the whole area grinding to a traffic choked halt is to get many more of us residents out of our cars onto buses. The posts will represent the centre line of the current proposed alignment and will be used to guide a technical walkover comprising councillors, land owners, council officers and the engineering design team over the coming weeks. What excites you about the course and why do you want to learn about it more?' Crest Nicholson has been keen to highlight their credentials in a number of meetings with local residents, and talked about being considerate contractors with regards to the existing residents. That period has passed and we are now told that the routing will change “imminently”. Certainly people have concerns about the proposed handling of water on both developments. Wokingham Borough Council finally seems to be making some visible progress towards opening a secondary school in the area for September 2016. Until that is completed traffic for Fleet will be sent up and around the Blackbushe roundabout, however despite this the proposed work should sort out a lot of the problems and hopefully alleviate some of the delays. We have had informal discussions with several councillors who are insistent that this is not the case and that they can proceed with the school without having to have the main planning application approved, including one or two who have said that had they been at the forum they would have highlighted when Hugo made the statement that this was not the case. As with the revisions to the Crest Nicholson application previously you can comment on the revised application whether or not you commented on the original application. Environmental concerns have come up, in particular what the effect of building on Hogwood Farm will have on the bottom end of Park Lane and New Mill Lane – somewhere that has flooded in the past few years – and further downstream on Swallowfield. Quite a lot has gone on in the past few days so it is time for a more general update. Most opening lines, be they for an individual chapter or the book as a whole, seek to rouse readers’ curiosity by planting questions in their minds. It provides entertainment, most often via humor. It creates an emotional connection. Another point to consider is that whilst Crest Nicholson are pointing the finger at Wokingham Borough Council over the route, the plan they were given has both routes. If you wish to take part, please contact Brian directly via e-mail to Brian.Grady@wokingham.gov.uk. Further down the A327, Hampshire County Council are currently consulting on their proposed improvements at the junction with the A30. Brian Grady, the Head of Strategic Commissioning is organising a parental reference group that will provide the main parental input into the design and planning process for the school. Hopefully the decision to close the road during summer holidays will minimise the traffic disruption, but with such a significant closure there will inevitably be some problems. Currently Wokingham Borough Council are going for evening meetings, however they are open to holding sessions at other times of the day for parents who are unable to make the evening meetings, so if you are keen to be involved but can’t make the times, please contact Brian. Keep it brief – the council is expecting a lot of responses to these applications, brief bullet points might be better than an essay. Enter your email address to subscribe to this website and receive notifications of new posts by email. With the ongoing consultation on the planning applications in full flow, it is time for a quick update. As always we can’t link directly to the applications because of the way the council website is designed, however following the instructions in this post you can find the applications and read what people are saying. The Arborfield Garrison Resident's Action Group (AG-RAG) represents the civilian residents who mostly live in the southern part of Arborfield. Whilst these new buses are attractive, it still takes an hour to get to central Reading, so we are doubtful that the developers can achieve the kind of spectacular switch to public transport they are hoping for. The revised application documents can be found on the council system under the application number O/2014/2179 with the revised documents presented below the original documents. Firstly, the new Reading Buses Leopard service kicked off on Monday. As the Arborfield Garrison Residents Action Group we are primarily concerned with the development planned on the Arborfield Garrison site and adjacent land, and as part of that we continue to press the council to ensure adequate traffic mitigation is provided at all the local black spots such as Arborfield, but also including Barkham Bridge, California Crossroads and further down the A327 at Eversley, and that any mitigation should minimise the impact on surrounding communities in Arborfield, Barkham, Finchampstead, Eversley and Farley Hill. Whilst it may make you feel better to object to the principle of building houses here it is a waste of time, that decision has already been made when Wokingham Borough Council designated this area as a Strategic Development Location a number of years ago. Whilst there have been a couple of issues we have heard about with regards to fares not being correct, in general the new service seems to be going down well. How many potential parents are going to be happy to have their children walking to the school when that route crosses one of the agreed access routes for building traffic to other parts of the development? All are welcome to participate in the group as Wokingham are keen to get the views of as many parents and interested parties as possible. 'What you want to study and why should be in the first two sentences. Whilst in practice the council usually accepts comments after this date, they don’t have to so please try to get them in time. Outline your essay body: write down a topic sentence for each paragraph, provide supporting evidence you’ll use when writing, and mention how they’ll relate to the topic and your thesis. We will be taking up how WBC allowed a plan to be included in the section 106 agreement, as this stretch of road is not only one that currently parents and children going to the pre-school have to cross, residents going to the letter box have to cross, but more importantly once the secondary school opens, this is a key part of the plans for a safe route to school. The more time you spend on creating an outline for your essay, the less you will spend on writing it. Suffice to say that the people of Arborfield village have been consistent in wanting a “Bypass” for all the known black spots, and the council should be honest in what they are presenting and not try to confuse residents into thinking that the “Relief Road” is what they have been asking for for all these years. 'Write what comes naturally.' The simple point to bear in mind is that the powers that be can pick any name they like, but the name that will stick will be the one people use, and the vast majority of existing residents of the SDL regard themselves as living in Arborfield. Before you start writing an essay, the first step is the outline writing. Crest Nicholson had a site meeting in the middle of last week and let us know that they were going to change the routing of the trucks within forty-eight hours. 15th September 7:30pm – WBC Shute End, David Hicks Room However Reading Buses seem keen to make a good impression, so if you have any problems, or want more information they can be contacted directly on 0118 959 4000 or through their website. Another name that is up for discussion is the name of the new school, which has produced much debate on the Parental Reference Group page on Facebook. You Are Here:   Home » Tag Archives: A327. Write a unique letter, multiple copies of the same letter, or a single letter or petition signed by multiple people counts as one response. 4. All that will happen if you object to building houses is that your comments will be noted and ignored. To view detailed plans of the proposed work, which is due to commence at the end of the summer and be completed by March 2015, and to submit comments please go to the Hampshire County Council web site and fill in their quick survey form on the improvements. As always the lack of a coherent solution to the A327 through Eversley, especially considering that all the remaining MoD personnel who currently walk to work on the Garrison will be heading towards Aldershot will also be going this way features in comments. But in this situation when given the choice of a route which exposed children walking to the pre-school to danger, goes past a well used bus stop, post box and playing fields through a residential area, as opposed to an alternative route that went down the A327 and approached the site well away from residential areas but was a bit longer, they chose the short route that even an elementary risk assessment would indicate was more dangerous to local residents and had a greater possibility of an accident. Firstly the issue of the trucks going to and from the site through the residential area past the pre-school continues to roll on. If you want a chance to go through the plans, talk to local councillors and also ask questions of the developers Finchampstead Parish Council have organised another opportunity to do so on Saturday 22 November 2014 at Nine Mile Ride School from 3pm to 5pm. Finally, one sad bit of news in that Trinity Mirror who own the Reading Post and Wokingham Times amongst other newspapers has decided to close all their Berkshire titles in favour of an online only model, making a number of redundancies. The residents of Arborfield village have always asked for a “Bypass”. Is essay writing a demanding task for you? The current proposed dates, times and locations are as follows: 30th June 7.30pm – WBC Shute End, David Hicks Room With the prospect of a new town being built at Arborfield and on the door step of the quiet Hampshire village of Eversley, the local residents have been trying to inform people of the current state of the A327 through their village and also the new dangers that will be heading their way. Campaign Page Builder does what it says on the tin: Rapidly create T&F branded, trackable web pages to support your marketing campaigns with no knowledge of web code. Finally, don’t forget that next week, from August 3rd until August 23rd the A327 towards Reading will be totally closed near the Magpie and Parrot for the flood relief work that is required as part of the building of the Shinfield Eastern Relief Road. For those wondering where the name comes from, the Bohunt School was the original school which became and academy to found the chain, and that is named after Bohunt Manor which provided land for the original school in Liphook. Although the two terms are often mixed up, they mean distinctly different things. Unfortunately despite the leader of the council and former lead member for development being present at that forum he did not object, and every subsequent statement from the council has a lot of fluff about an ongoing process of negotiation, but no the kind of unequivocal statement on the school that people need. 'Talk about you and your enthusiasm for the subject from the very start.' Whatever your particular concerns, it is important that you get them in by 5th December to ensure they are noted. A “Relief Road” is intended to relieve a specific traffic problem or problems, whereas a “Bypass” bypasses an entire community, in terms of the various options put forward by Wokingham Borough Council, their favoured solution, A3 is a “Relief Road” because it is intended to relieve traffic on the congested A327 through the village and at the roundabout, but it isn’t a “Bypass” because traffic still passes through lower Arborfield, and it doesn’t provide any resolution to the problems of people living on that part of the Reading Road or those who live in Walden Avenue or Greensward Lane. 20th October 7:30 – WBC Shute End, LGF4 Whilst this document can’t stop development coming to Arborfield, it can guide developers as to how local residents want those developments to be built, so is an important document. 21st July 7:30pm – WBC Shute End, David Hicks Room Firstly the deadline for comments on the two planning applications has now been synchronised on 5th December, so you only have a couple of weeks left to have your say. Powered by Headway, the drag and drop WordPress theme, Copyright © 2020 Arborfield Garrison Residents Action Group. This is the most crucial step when it comes to essay writing. Our experience from previous exhibitions is that this is a good opportunity to put specific points to the developers and politicians who react a lot more proactively face to face with residents, certainly we are aware of changes that were made to submitted plans after residents with particular issues took them up face-to-face with Crest Nicholson. Quite a lot has gone on in the past few days so it is time for a more general update. It’s a simple as that. Having taken a trip into Reading on the new service the buses certainly are more attractive than the old 144 buses, but we shall see over the coming weeks how the new provider performs. Like it or not the name will include the name of the education provider – Bohunt Education Trust. Looking at other road issues we have heard via Gary Cowan that as part of the ongoing work towards the Arborfield Bypass/Relief Road the initial line of route B is due to be marked out by a line of posts across the fields to the west of the village. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! As such whilst we are clear that something needs to be provided at Arborfield, it is primarily something that the people who live in Arborfield itself need to decide. For instance, I discovered that there were several ways to write lines. As mentioned previously we have commitments from a number of high ranking councillors and council officers that they are focused on finally making a school for the south of Wokingham a reality after decades of trying. The more details you outline, the easier it will be to organize all the thoughts while writing. 18th August 7:30pm – WBC Shute End, LGF4 Sadly the need to meet the tight timescales has resulted in the council settling on one of the new, much criticised standardised designs that were put forward by the current government a few years ago, whilst the parent group are putting forward their ideas, ultimately the need to get the school built on time will almost certainly mean that rather than a design that fits into the vision for the new community we will have something very close to the standardised designs commissioned by former Education Secretary Michael Gove. In wider news there continues to be consultation on the name for the development, in particular the most recent Barkham village newsletter has been campaigning for an “anything but Arborfield” name on the basis that most of the Crest Nicholson development is in Barkham parish. This of course ignores the fact that the Marino development is entirely in Finchampstead, and that all the previously developed Garrison land – Penrose Park and Poperinghe Way – are in Arborfield along with much of the existing housing within the SDL. Although this area is adjacent to the Arborfield Garrison itself, the AG-RAG does not represent the views or interests of the MoD or the Military Commander of the Arborfield Garrison. The posts do not represent the final alignment of the road, but will be used to inform discussion about what the impacts of the route will be. The replacement of this junction, and provision of bypasses for Arborfield and Shinfield increasingly highlights the main remaining problem area along the length of the road, being the stretch along the Street in Eversley and Reading Road in Finchampstead, and we will continue to press for meaningful action on this stretch too. The principle of building houses in the South East was pushed by both the previous Labour government, and the current Conservative led coalition, and Wokingham is required to find space for a certain number of houses each year. Sadly the funding is not enough to totally sort the junction out, so there is a planned phase two to connect in the fourth exit off the roundabout. 17th November 7:30 – WBC Shute End, David Hicks Room In many places when talking about the traffic mitigation for Arborfield village the terms “Relief Road” and “Bypass” get used interchangeably. We hope that Hugo Reeve and his team at Crest Nicholson have learned lessons from this week and will put the safety of local residents, especially our children front and centre in all their subsequent routing plans, and wherever possible route their trucks and deliveries away from residential areas. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. 1. The liberal use of traffic calming in the current plans have gone down no better than the liberal use of traffic lights in the previous plan. 2. Equally other members may be more affected by route B1, so it is vitally important that everybody participates in the consultation this autumn – remember the route is not a done deal! Here is a simple guide to help you write your college essay, academic papers, research pap… We would urge any AG-RAG members with a particular interest in the routing of the bypass to get in contact and support their action group. This week there is a bit of a bumper crop of news and information to share. You can find a link to the proposals and details of how to comment on this page on the Wokingham Borough website. Route B1 on the other hand is a “Bypass” because it also avoids lower Arborfield, and connects to the existing Arborfield Garrison bypass at the Langley Common Road/A327 roundabout. We’d like to thank them for all their support over the years and offer our best wishes to those who are being made redundant in the run up to Christmas. After his commitment to try to return a post office to Arborfield, following the sudden “temporary” closure of the only remaining post office by the Ministry of Defence last year, Gary also let us know that the Arborfield Shop has now been sold to new owners who will move in sometime in July, and he is hopeful that the new owners will reinstate a post office. Are you one of those students who find essay a tedious,boring, or even daunting task? The themes are pretty much what you would expect, but a few points to bear in mind: From feedback we’ve had so far the big issue once again is traffic and traffic mitigation. It piques their curiosity. Reporters from the Wokingham Times have been to almost as many meetings and forums as some of the residents and have reported the twists and turns of the Garrison development for many years. The comment by Crest Nicholson representative Hugo Reeve at the last Community Forum that his planning application needed to be approved to release the land for the school, a statement that is also made in the planning documents themselves also continues to be of concern, especially to those parents looking for a school at the earliest opportunity. Alongside the main planning applications, there is another consultation taking place which will be of particular interest to Arborfield residents, which is for the Arborfield and Newland Village Design Statement. 'Be specific from line one.' Moving on, anybody who submitted comments to the Marino Family planning application for the southern part of the Strategic Development Location will have received either an e-mail, a letter, or possibly both, notifying them of a revision to the application. In general the Wokingham Borough Council officers will make sure they use the term “Relief Road” whereas the councillors will use both terms but a lot of the time will correct themselves when they say “Bypass”.
