Thanks all. We typically do the drive/valet thing but since the family grew this autumn plus we are taking another adult our estate car cannot cope for an airport run. Buying a new car might be the next piece of advice I'll be seeking!!

Any recommendations for minicabs people can share for a airport drop off / pick up? We need 3 adults, 1 baby, 1 toddler to fit, so a large MPV is likely needed and some confidence that the child seats will be installed and up to standard. I've seen some references to http://www.airportsdirectservices.co.uk/ ADS when I've searched around - any feedback on their service? Thanks

fyi we live on calton ave and there has been much discussion in recent weeks with the engineers and council regarding the poor results from the townley road/calton ave changes to the traffic situation/behaviour. As already posted there are plans to update the Court Lane/Village lights junction too following the large public consultation last year, however we are asking for some more careful thought before more taxpayer money is wasted on "traffic technology" that in fact does not really have any effect on flow or speed/safety. During school hours coaches make a complete mess of the traffic at those lights... now thats another topic that only a width restriction on the road will solve... I won't hold my breath.

We are on Calton Ave too and have moved from Voda to O2 but both are just as bad. Orange reception is no better either. It is all to do with the Village not wanting any additional masts erected so the area is effectively serviced by the masts outside of the immediate area - hence patchy service...
