The majority of lorries to and from Basingstoke (M£) via Newbury Town emanate from the massive distribution depots in Thatcham. Our planners have really been forward thinking haven't they? WBC still seems to think we can go back to 1956

QUOTE (user23 @ Jan 10 2014, 05:45 PM) I wonder what impact this will have on local allotments? They are keeping the pollution down by reducing the need to import food. Our dear WBC is doing its level best to do the exact opposite. Their idea of a greener Berkshire comes from a B&Q colour chart

This is just a wrong place for a distribution depot.

This is just a wrong place for a distribution depot. Perhaps since the Business Rates retention was announced they have been more interested in getting schemes that will pay their wages and reduce their risk of redundancy. So they do care but not necessarily for the public interest.

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Jan 10 2014, 12:51 PM) I see in the NWN that WBC planners have advised to approve a huge warehouse on Greenham Common. This will result in may hundreds of lorry movements a day on the Basingstoke Road and possibly through the town. But let's not forget that it'll also result in many more local jobs. Some parts of the country would kill to have depots like this.

QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Jan 10 2014, 07:00 PM) Agreed. I agree with that. Greenham Common is not really suitable for a distribution warehouse. Anyone want to get some signs made up and we can go protest?

Anyone want to get some signs made up and we can go protest? A protest at Greenham Common? That's original.

The distribution warehouse is great, it just doesn't have the transport infrastructure here to service it without clogging up the local traffic.

Agreed, which makes it even more vital to have the infrastructure supporting them. Are WBC trying to shed employment in the locality as part of some daft relocation scheme? I seem to remember some LD Concillor in Thatcham suggesting something very much like that when Sony pulled out a few years back.
