The consultation in Abingdon to discuss the new local plan up to 2041 mirrored the traffic in Abingdon this morning.
\n
\n* Traffic up West St Helen Street.
\n
\n* Consultation in a corner of Pablos Lounge.<\/p>\n

The venue became as much a talking point as the plan in the morning.\u00a0 The crush had eased off by afternoon, as had the traffic.
\n
\nIt was good to see Roger and Bobby, who attend most of Abingdon’s consultations, as experts and friends of Abingdon. Hopefully, the location at Pablos also attracted more people who wouldn’t typically attend such consultations.<\/p>\n

Janet M said building more homes in Dalton Barracks and Culham, as proposed in the 2041 plan, would worsen Abingdon’s traffic. She agrees new homes are needed but wants better road infrastructure and bike paths first to manage the extra traffic and encourage cycling.<\/p>\n

Mike thought it was crunch time for Culham, and said now was the time to stop more houses at Culham, and help save Abingdon, through this local plan.<\/p>\n
