Bus Service for Thatcham Avenue

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

Do anyone know when Thatcham Ave and beyond is going to get a bus service?

In this very wet weather it is no wonder people are bringing Tesco trolleys on to the site!
With no shops here and not having a car, weekly shopping for a family is very heavy. I feel very sorry when I see mums with small children in the pouring rain; surely they could run a bus down Thatcham and round past the School, back out through Valley Gardens to the traffic lights!

I know the roads has not been finished but does that really matter? Surely we will not have to wait 1-2-3 years until the recession recovery?

And - as for finishing roads - they can find funds to do side roads ie Marham Drive!

Blue BMW Coupe… Idiot

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

I was out on Thatcham Avenue a couple of nights ago when I witnessed a Blue BMW coupe being ‘doughnutted’ around the Thatcham Avenue / Woodvale roundabout and then racing up Thatcham Avenue and swerving to avoid cars!

I have spoken to some friends about this and have learned that this is an almost nightly occurence for this idiot driver who is a resident of Thatcham Avenue.

If anyone on this site knows him maybe you could have a word in his ear before he:
1. Damages property - or - 2. Kills a pedestrian or himself.

Kingsway is not a race track, nor do we want it to be.

It makes me wonder if anyone has experienced anything else like this?

Kingsway School Website

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

The School has launched it’s own website at www.kingsway.gloucs.sch.uk

Having said that, the web site is already out of date and we are having trouble updating it as BT can’t - for some complicated reason - provide us with a broadband line at the moment.

Still, check back when you can, the site name is permanent and the content will change from time to time.
