The Speed Checker is Back

People are often surprised by this BUT the Parish Council does not have the power to impose speed restrictions OR to initiate penalties for speed infringements. Whodathunkit!

BUT we can reflect the concerns of residents to the powers that be. To this end we have managed to  secure the use of the speed checker again in order to remind wayward motorists that it’s a 30 mile per hour zone on Green Bank AND to collect data on the number of infringements. This we can use to make our case for some official enforcement.

So keep your eyes open, watch your speed and let’s see what the speed checker says:

The Village Lunch

Every year the Village Lunch provides great food and a great opportunity to meet new people from the village. Today (Sunday 25th) was no exception. A full village hall and an army of willing volunteers provided an excellent meal with superb puds (only supports weight loss as part of a calorie controlled diet). A big thank you to the volunteers. A reminder to check the Events Calendar to see what’s on next. A few pictures below to show you what you missed if you didn’t make it this time.
