Hadleigh businesses may miss all the Olympic action


TRADERS in Hadleigh fear they will miss out on any Olympic boost to business despite their town hosting an event.

They are concerned about how shoppers will get to the shops and the parking situation in the town, when spectators turn up to watch the Olympic mountain bike event, at Hadleigh Farm on Saturday and Sunday, August 11 and 12.

Maybe some people will wander up to visit The Castle pub.........to get out of the rain

So the torch is in town from Friday, was interesting to see on the timetable this entry:

16:13 A1235 Cranes Farm Rd

Do they know that's where the sewerage farm is and on a good day the smell is intolerable, let alone a bad day, and I'm sure a naked flame flapping about in the wind is a recipe for disaster !

I will make sure i well clear of it at this point !
