This week's posts and updates

Hi everyone, just a few updates for this week's post.

First off the adoption of the estate is still ongoing. Mike spoke to Miller Homes and Chorley Council last week and there is still an ongoing issue with the ownership of some of the boundary walls and railings - I'll let you know when there is an update on their progress.

If you're interested in attending, I've posted the latest PACT dates here and you can read the latest Trading Standards newsletter letter here.

I've also posted some advice on how to opt out of Royal Mail junk mail, you can read it here.

That's all I have for now,

Abby

Updates and information for Wednesday

Hi all, there are quite a few posts today. The first is from Lancashire Council concerning email,  telephone and internet scams that you can read here and there's a couple of articles about metal theft here and here.

Lancashire Police are launching a messaging service to keep people updated on crime and policing issues in their local area. You can read more about it by clicking here.  There is also a copy of the latest in the know newsletter here.  If you're interested in attending the Chorley and District Neighbourhood Watch Assocation AGM you can find the details here and here.

I've also been asked by Shirley Dodd to let people know that questionnaires for the Village consultation have been hand delivered to every home in Croston. Please would you return them to the locations stated on the back of the questionnaire or you can now complete the questionnaire on line by visiting Save Croston Rec on facebook where there is a link to the online survey.

That's it for now,

Roundabout at entrance to the estate

I got an email earlier this week from Chris Gibbons who lives on the estate. Chris is concerned about the roundabout at the entrance to the estate and has been in touch with Lancashire County Council about his concerns. Chris has asked me to post the following message paragraph asking for resident's opinions about the roundabout. 

Following a series of near misses I have had on the roundabout at the entrance to Jubilee Way I decided to notify Lancashire County Council of my concerns about the safety. I feel that the Jubilee Way roundabout is pretty much ignored by a large number of road users. Either they do not realise it is there, they do  not understand how to use a mini roundabout or they are chancers that expect the other user to give way when they shouldn't have too. Anyway, following my correspondance with LCC nothing is going to change, which to be honest is what I expected. (Except a repaint.) I was wondering what the thoughts of other residents are. Should we campaign for the roundabout to be replaced by a Give Way or STOP line? I think that one of these options would be better in respect of safety as the line would be higher up the slope so a better line of sight would be available to vehicles leaving Jubilee Way. Also, users on Jubilee way would know that they are on the minor road and this would remove the confusion that seems to occur on a regular basis in which cars on Moor Road fail to give way

 If you want to have your say about the roundabout and respond to Chris please just post a comment and let him have your opinions about the entrance to the estate.
