PETITION: It was my pleasure to present a petition to the full council meeting last Thursday at the Civic Office on behalf of Beggarwood residents.

The petition was organised by Mary Stevens who had collected around 100 signatures. Residents are concerned that some of the roads have not been adopted even though the houses have been lived in for six years. It seems that the stumbling block is that there is no agreement between the county council and the developer on exactly what should be provided.
