For those who missed last night's Select Committee hearing where Charles Holbech presented Wardington's case, you can view it again above. Charles starts at 19:22:37 which you can find by moving the slider along the bottom of the video window. Charles made an excellent case and pressed strongly for a meaningful and significant reduction in vehicle movements. He persuaded the committee to view the A361 video which appeared to have made an impact not least with Sir Peter Bottomley MP. Time was strictly limited, nevertheless Charles presented the Wardington case extremely well and we are very grateful to him for giving so much time to our petition.
Charles will be referring to slides AP2-00166_Wardington Parish Council_Petitioner

Many thanks to everyone who gave so generously this year to the Poppy Appeal. The total reached by Wardington, Williamscot and Chacombe was £1,302.25 (a record amount) with £168.65 coming from the Church collection. Special thanks to all the collectors without whom I just could not manage. If anyone would like to help next year please let me know at janemmeredith@hotmail.co.uk. Jane Meredith, Honorary Organiser
During Tuesday evening's HS2 update meeting Charles Holbech referred to a video created by Sam Young showing the unsuitability of the A361 through Wardington to handle the volume of proposed construction traffic. We're pleased to be able to add this to the Wardington website. Thanks go to Sam Young for making this film.
