Traffic management on the A12
week starting Sun 25th
There
has been a change to the traffic management this
week for the A12 Birchwood Road bridge works,
which Atkins is carrying out, on behalf of the
Highways Agency.
Following the first weekend of contraflow last
weekend, we have altered our working this week.
The contraflow (one lane in each direction only)
will be in place on Wednesday overnight this
week (28 September) between the hours of 8pm and
6am, and possibly again on Thursday night this
week (29 September) if required, but we are
hoping to only need the contraflow in place on
Wednesday overnight.
This
weekend we will then have contraflow in
operation from 8pm on Saturday 1 October until
6am on Monday 3 October (not starting on the
Friday evening as originally planned). We have
notified the local Shell petrol station at
Birchwood southbound of this change.
If
you have any queries about this or any other
work by the Highways Agency or its contractors,
please contact the Highways Agency Information
Line (HAIL) on 0300 123 5000. This number
operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Meeting Thursday 8th September at 7.30pm at Langham
Community Centre
Due to
the appointment of a new Head teacher, Mr Andrew
MacDonald, at the beginning of the Autumn Term; The
School Governing Board are meeting at the school on
the evening of the 22nd August.
Hornestreetfield Conservation Site This
1.5 acres of land has been developed over the last
decade for the Parishioners of Langham as a place to
go for quiet reflection. Its location is to the rear
of The Ramsden Hall School, School Road and is
accessible via a public footpath opposite the
Langham Community Centre. Nearly 100 trees have been
planted on the conservation area during its 10 year
life and the area has a fenced pond, a small
orchard, a wildflower meadow, a shrubbery, and
examples of coppicing of Sweet Chestnut and Hazel.
The private site is owned by a Trust and there are
three local trustees. Parishioners visiting the site
with dogs are kindly asked to keep them on a lead
and under control. Trees on the site can be adopted
for 25 pounds each and this helps provide
maintenance income for the site. The site has had
considerable help from the Dedham Vale and Stour
Valley AONB and has recently received a grant from
them for the relining of the wildlife pond. All the
local schools have been involved with the creation
of the conservation site at various times.
Parishioners are reminded that this area is not a
park but an area where birds and small creatures can
thrive.. Please do come and visit the site and
reflect on the wonders of nature. The Site Manager
is Ian Sutherland 01206 272486, and the Trustees
John Helliwell, Robert Schofield and Ian Sutherland.

Travellers arrive on
Severalls Lane site, 6.00 pm Wednesday 20 April
Travellers moved onto this site about 6pm and were, when
the photo was taken, being spoken to by Stuart St Clair
Pearce of the Seven Saints Rare Breeds Farm next door.
Several police cars were in attendance. This group,
Stuart told me, were from Surrey and were the group
occupying a playing field in St John's before leaving
that field on Wednesday, just ahead of a council
eviction order.
The arrival of the travellers was not unnoticed, as the
entrance is now within a traffic control system, so
motorists were stopped for up to 20 minutes by a man in
the road as the traveller convoy was ushered into the
field adjoining Salary Brook.

CRIME
Ramsden School They (like the
Community Centre in 2010) have had some lead
stolen, from their conservatory at the front of
their premises. Did anyone notice any workmen
over the Christmas period, as Ramsden did not
have any work scheduled? If you have any
information, would you please pass this to Lin
at Ramsden school.
A van, with flashing lights, was
seen in a drive in Moor Road, I am told. It was
reported and found to have false plates. I suspect
it is the oil thieves again, already having
struck in Moor Road after the last but one oil
delivery.

January; reported Thursday 13 Jan.

To report a pothole, or any other problem with the
road network use the above web address and click on “Report a
highway fault”.
To report a pothole on the
new site, you locate the pothole on the map, but you
must enlarge the map a lot before the site allows you to
select the marker and mark the pothole! It then asks you
your entire life history before allowing to submit your
report. Clunky!
