Is Pannal congested?

What do you think? Find out on Thursday May 16th from 5pm to 7pm in Pannal Memorial Hall. If you have already made your comments to Harrogate Borough Council that is fine but if not here is your chance to find out what it is all about and make your comments after you have seen Exhibition by Pannal Parish Council. Don't think HBC think we have congestion in the village.  All the cars in the village from 8.30am to 9am and 3pm to 3.45pm that is because there is Pannal Primary School and I am afraid we have to put up with all the cars parking and driving. There are also cars doing the rat run and heavy lorries that are not supposed to come through the village but some of the drivers unfortunately cannot read the prohibiting signs. This goes on in the evenings from 4.30pm to about 6.30pm. Sometimes cars backed up from traffic lights at the top of Station Road all the way up to All Saints Court in occasions. Normally just a steady stream. Today as I type this silence as Harrogate is quiet due to the cyclists. When I went into town this morning what peace and it is Friday. Well seen the cyclists do not come through Pannal as our roads have so many pot holes especially top of Spring Lane. Wish they would come through here as everywhere they go the roads have been made so smooth.
I have just returned from Sorrento and it was lovely. Went to Capri and that was a rip off. Fourteen euro for two little cups of coffee. Did not dare eat there. Not a mention of Gracie Fields and at one time she was what people went to Capri for. I remember my neighbours going and coming back so excited saying we saw Gracie walking down the street. My 15 year old grandson said who is Gracie Fields and I said she was a singer who was very popular during World War Two. He said what did she sing and I said Sally put it on your phone. He did she sang the first word Sally and he said Oh God and switched her off.
My lovely neighbour looked after Tigs and Marble when I went away and when I returned they were waiting for me on the drive and I have never known such excitement. Never seen anything like it in the 15 years that I have had them. What happened whilst I was away I shall never know. Place looked the same but they were so pleased to see me, so vocal and jumping up and running round my feet. They are still doing it and I don't know why. Cats normally just say Oh your back and carry on with what they were doing. I was a lovely welcome.
Thank goodness I was not in Sorrento over Easter as it was fabulous here and all over the UK. Not so fabulous now. All hoping for better.
