Yarm School Development Plans
Eaglescliffe councillors Alan Lewis and Maureen Rigg are angry at the way in which Yarm School, Bellway Homes and Theakston Estates have treated Eaglescliffe over their plans. Proposals to put rugby pitches, Cricket pitches, a pavilion, rounders courts and athletics track on a swathe of land between Egglescliffe village and the river along with a footbridge to connect them to Yarm were drawn up without any consultation and presented to the public yesterday at a "Community Involvement" event held in Conyers School. The event was arranged at such short notice that our Focus leaflet went to print before the event was arranged and is still being delivered by volunteers after the event has happened.

Relief from Black Cat Delay Misery for Motorists is Essential
At the time of the completion of the new, dualled A421 link between Bedford and the Black Cat roundabout (or Great Barford bypass, as it's more commonly known) just a few years ago, the Black Cat junction itself was remodelled to accommodate the new entrance/exit. Sadly, the opportunity to introduce a comprehensive scheme to remedy the problem of severe traffic and congestion at the junction, which is the responsibility of the Highways Agency, was not taken at the time. The result was the current situation of daily delays suffered by motorists, causing misery for drivers and damaging our local economy. This is unacceptable.
