problems in the parish. As a first step, the traffic group – Damon Green and Emily
Hall (both Parish Councillors) plus Mark Harris and Dawn & Peter Leatherdale – will
progress the creation of a Community Speed Watch scheme, commencing with
training given by a dedicated CSW coordinator. We will be in touch with
parishioners who have expressed interest in taking part once dates have been
arranged.
We will then need to consider how to proceed with other matters which have
attracted widespread support while bearing in mind that the purpose is to
improve quality of life in the parish and not undermine it with excessive measures.
Use of ’20 is Plenty’ signs - supported by 73% of respondents - does not require
consent from any authority (noting that this idea attracted some negative
comments). However, changing speed limits and increasing the areas covered
by speed limit zones are matters that we will first consult on with the Parish Council
– there is clear and widespread support for change among parishioners (and
elsewhere in the country) – but achieving these will take time and perseverance!
In this we take encouragement from traffic related developments at Dorset
Council as recently reported in the Dorset Echo.
