  2. I've been mulling over the Hoveton pavement improvements whilst stuck in the lights. All of the pavements in Hoveton have a small grass verge between road and path. This area should too, as the bits that have a phone pole and road sign on still do. The rest have been destroyed by people using it as a road.

    Now MY council tax is being used to provide a free upgrade to the frontage of these properties, for self inflicted damage....

    Could have re-turfed it and shoved a few bollards in far quicker and cheaper....

    By the way, I used that analogy as I feel it is similar to the BA's present delight in promoting paddle-boarding and kayak-ing.  Maybe that's what they want?  Paddle boards don't need moorings, bank maintenance, or dredging!

     

    Be nice if the the casual paddle boarders pitching up actually knew what a toll was - at least half those I got chatting to locally last year hadn't

    No, it's not all ( or canoe users for that matter ) but I reackon as a percentage it's higher than boat users.

  4. HOW did they manage to get approval to have lights both ends of Hoveton / Wroxham and close the turn off to cut past the Hall for the Colt road at the same time  .......... Coming from Stalham you have to get held by at least one set of lights or take a huge diversion. Took daughter 25 mins added top her commute yesterday to get to work

    I love  it when people  are negative.Really come on it gives choice to boaters and locals.Yes boats don't have freezers,but has improved  options. It's a standing   yoke Lathams is tatland.Which I think is a bit unfair.

    Not if you remember it before it became just another branch of QD

  6. They should have bulit a roundabout by Tescos - getting out of there is never easy if heading to Wroxham because of traffic turning in ( however this is irrelevant to the accident )

    Until we see the full details, let's not jump to hasty conclusions. That is a major road, taking a lot of traffic. Many of us use it for commuting. It has a good footpath to Wayford Bridge, so pedestrians should be safe. I'd agree with barriers on the island though.

    I am afraid I am now about to be really contencious, firstly I have no issue with the sailing fraturnity or them holding regatas, Black Horse Broad is privately owned and as such is the responsibility of the owner which I believe is the same family that closed HGB to the public, Horning Sailing Club with consent from the Same owner cleared a lot of trees and shrub from the river bank down to the Broad to enhance sailing conditions and in the process placed notices restricting some of the wild moorings, this being the case if the weed is that big a problem why dosnt the owner and sailing club take remedial action instead of expecting the BA to do it after all they have managed to get funding for HGB.

    I can't, and won't, get drawn too far into the wheres and whys, partly because others are managing this via the proper channels, and partly becuse I am not fully up to speed on all the angles, but there are a huge raft of environmental issues around Hickling, from protected animals to protected weed.

    They used to say you could sail a wherry across damp grass if there had been a good dew that morning.  I would hate to see the Broads get like that, after over 200 years history as a navigation.

    Having been on Hickling this weekend, it nearly is
