Well, we finally got a call from case officer Alan Lynch on Friday morning. Unfortunately, that was all we got. He was not able to answer any of the questions we had asked despite having received them two weeks ago. He added that we will get an answer but not when.
Given that the closing date for comments on the latest round of plans is this coming Friday that doesn't give us much time to respond. However, he did say that anything received after the closing date would be taken into consideration.
We also got a letter from Bill Cash MP in response to his letter to the Chief Executive of Stafford Borough Council. In short, the letter explains the matter will be resolved by the planning committee. Worryingly, the Borough Council's position on the traffic issue is that the road is deemed safe because the Highways Authority has raised no objection!
What we can tell you (and have written to the Borough Council about this) is that there have been 73 accidents between the A520/ Hartwell Lane junction and Nicholls Lane during the past 14 years, five of them involving fatalities. During the same period there have been 14 in the general area of the pub, two of them involving fatalities.
Not dangerous? Makes you wonder how some people define dangerous.
