Association take up lane problem
The west side of Old Shaw Lane is a thorough mess according to
residents living in the lane. They expressed their views forcefully at
NEW LATE OPENING TIMES the November meeting of the Shaw Residents' Association.
Open: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday The road is a quagmire from builders traffic and construction
providing services to the Ronking site according to Ingrid Hewson.
9.00a.m. to 6.30p.m. "Its very dangerous. The workers park on the verge and women and
Thursday 9.00a.m. to 5.30p.m. children have to walk in the road. There's plenty of on-site parking."
The Association agreed to write to Thamesdown Council for some
Saturday 9.00a.m. to 5.00p.m. action.
Closed for Lunch 1.00p.m. to 2.00p.m. The next meeting of Shaw Residents' Association takes place in
