An update on car parking https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx21lywxpp4o

Talk is cheap?

Quote
The council said all details about where the new car park could be must remain confidential for the time being because of "potential commercial and land ownership considerations".
Does that mean the allotments are safe?

A friend who does have an allotment hadn't heard anything which suggests they might be.

I'm struggling to think where a new car park could go though. Allotments on one side, houses on another and the only open spaces nearby are playing fields and a Wildlife Trust reserve both of which I think would cause suitable levels of outrage if they were built on.

I did have to go back to Twyford for the first time in a couple of years and it was quite a surprise to see how far out the yellow lines had pushed commuters but also it felt quite challenging navigating all the parked cars. Pushing them to the village outskirts meant traffic speeds were that much higher along with some blind corners I'm surprised there's not more pictures of damaged cars on the local Facebook page.
