Essential Feature Speed Activated Signs The Parish Council has set its budget for the forthcoming year. When we speak to residents, we appreciate how significant an issue speeding traffic can be in certain parts of our village. That is why we have ring-fenced money to try and address this problem, through the purchase of speed activated signs. These signs can be placed at strategic locations where speeding is a problem, to warn drivers on the approach that they are over the limit. Speed activated signs have worked successfully in neighbouring villages like Hollins Green and Croft, and we are keen to replicate that success here. We are also on the lookout for any local businesses who may be willing to sponsor the signs, so that we can purchase additional units. The signs are movable, so do not have to remain fixed in one location and can be transferred between streets when issues arise. If you or your company would be interested in helping to make a real difference by sponsoring the speed activated signs, please get in touch with Mike Durrington, Clerk to the Parish Council, who can provide more information.
