Traffic problems in Christleton are in the forefront of many peoples minds in view of the current planning application by the High School.

In view of the High School's current planning application and the Christleton Parish Council's decision to oppose it on the grounds of increasing traffic flows through the village; it would seem to be an opportune moment to provide some additional information.

Blog gets a New Look for 2012
14/January/12 14:21 Catergory:Web Site
When I started building the site in 2000 I had a kind of logo featuring a swan flying over the Pump House. A few years later the swan became the favicon for the site. If you look to the left of the url in the web site you are browsing you will see sometimes a very small image. A miniature logo in effect. The technical name for this is a favicon. Christleton has one showing a swan flying on a black background. I have adapted this image and now made it a logo for the Christleton web site. You will start to see it at the top of many of the web pages along with the title. Some pages may need a little adapting but will see how it goes as a new look for the home page and some other pages is in the pipeline.
