The Riverside development is nearing completion, and the big sign says ‘Move in For Christmas!’
Looked at another way, the message is more like Russian script.
The developers say on the site-plan in the Estate Agents window that a bridge might be built across the Abbey Mill Stream. If they get planning permission, it would be about here…

There was a very bright Bath Street as we strolled into town early this morning.
In the Stratton Way underpass, a knight of the order of the Holy Cross, and St Edmund of Abingdon were praying over a broken bike which somebody had left in their care.
A man-size badger was at the Market Place, waving at little children, and posing for the camera.
The badger was part of the BBOWT craft market on the Market Place and in the Guildhall. BBOWT stands for Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust. Older readers may remember they were BBONT (N for Nature).
Also on the Market Place were representatives of The Abingdon Bridge with a stall letting people know what they do (they are an information, support, and training service for young people). They have a 2007 calendar costing £4.99.
The December calendar girl could be a future nurse.

During the AbITs consultation there were diagrams with projected traffic queues. West St Helens Street had only small queues in the computer projection. Compare that to this everyday situation!

The system is not complete. We still need the queue activated traffic lights to be switched into action.

Only the County Council knows when that is going to happen.

People are not getting enough information now. For some, livelihoods are at stake.

In the Unicorn Theatre this evening, the Old Gaol Theatre Company are performing Robert Bolt’s play ‘A Man for all seasons‘.

In the play, Sir Thomas Moore says to the ambitious Richard Rich that he, Richard, would be a fine teacher:

Richard Rich: If I was, who would know it?
Sir Thomas More: You; your pupils; your friends; God. Not a bad public, that.

And so back to our three young trees. They were first seen during
the Winter ,
and then Spring,
and then Summer
and finally here they are again. The first two look OK but the third has had its top snapped off again.
