OPEN
FORUM
Martin Coker spoke from the gallery about a booklet advertising the
Twyford to Henley branch service known as the “Regatta Line”. The
leaflet was a joint initiative by Oxford County Council, South Oxfordshire
District Council, Wokingham Borough Council, River Thames Society and
Thames Path National Trail with support from First Great Western. The
Clerk was asked to see if interested parties in our area would be willing
to support a similar leaflet advertising the Maidenhead to Marlow line –
“the Marlow Donkey”. Martin Coker also spoke about the delay in the
traffic lights phasing over Cookham Bridge. A delay of seventeen seconds
to allow cyclists to cross the bridge was too long for waiting motorists
and allowed the traffic to build up.
Mr Patrick Noone of Dean Farm
spoke about his plans due to be discussed tonight. Marilyn Polan from 3
Alandale Cottages, Station Road spoke against the latest application for
1, Alandale Cottages. Several residents from this road said that the
parking was impossible and there were worries about drainage in the road.
