New 'Road' across Hartham?
Anyone know why they've felt the urge to put a new 'road' across Hartham? I call it a road 'cos it's got to be about 3 times wider than your regular path.
The bit I'm talking about is the 'back' field at Hartham, where the football pitches are. It seems they're trying to connect the bridge near the lock with the small bridge at the bottom of St Leonards church field.
Not only does it seem like a waste of money, but the path itself is totally out of proportion to anything else.
And wonky.

I'm guessing it's because it was almost the end of the financial year and they needed to spend the money!

this new path is very dangerous for cyclists.While playing football on one of the pitches,nearby,I saw at least 5 people fall off their bikes as they rode along this new path.Most were children,who had lost control,as the path has a top layer of dust and sand, hopefully this will be rectified before someone gets badly injured

Ted Badger is great and we should all get behind him.. If only everybody in the area saw the common through a lens.

At the very end of Mead Lane it looks as if another road/path/sandpit is taking shape.

Is that just a temporary road.. and they are going to resurface it at a later date!

That's not a road, it's a beach! Preparation by the Globule Worming group for when we become Hertford-on-Sea.

I presume that the "road" was designed by a muppet, because with that type of surface it is totally unsuitable for any wheeled transport.
But perhaps this is the point - according to my OS map the route is a footpath and therefore shouldn't be used by horses or Bikes.

I have now seen the sand pit and I think that everybody has missed the point - not only have the council wasted our money building this motorway, but they have also replaced a perfectly good bridge with a much wider one!!!!!
The old bridge was quite narrow and therefore perfect for seal launching a kayak - I beleive the shiny new bridge is too wide

Seals on Hartham? They've got Kayaks? Evolution does move fast!

They had to find something to do once global warming melted all the ice.

It's probably an access road for the new luxury flats they are planning to build there!?[;)]

Don't forget, I saw Swans chasing men in Kayaks, too...[:D]
David Attenborough should be informed.

The swans are chasing the men in kayaks so that they can sell the kayaks to the seals (obviously)[:D]
