SPEEDING VEHICLES |
The monitoring of
vehicles speeding through the village is proving
very successful. Numerous motorists have been
caught by the 'Speed Gun' travelling well in
excess of the speed limits operating.
Please be aware that we now have a good rota of
local people who, together with the Police go
out on a regular basis and monitor vehicle
speeds.
There is no set day of of the week or time of
day when this might be taking place. |
|
EAST STREET |
Motorists, lorry
drivers, council vehicles and cyclists are still
exiting from East Street onto the main road
opposite the Post Office. Not only is this
highly dangerous, but it is also illegal.
We have contacted ERYC Highways several times
over the matter and they assure us that the
signage in East Street saying 'No Exit' is more
than adequate, likewise we have referred the
matter to the police. They are more than willing
to prosecute anyone caught exiting from East
Street.
The Parish Council are more than willing to
contact the police if we have either a
registration number together with a date and
time when the incident occurred or even a phone
picture together with a date and time and we
will do the rest. |

FLY TIPPING |
|
For many months now we have been troubled by
fly-tipping in the village. In particular on the
bridleway at the south end of the village
leading to the by-pass. Vast amounts of tyres
are being dumped on a regular basis. Again, this
is an illegal practice.
This is industrial waste and such should be
disposed of by licensed operators, either into
authorised sites or recycled, not dumped in our
village.
Every time this happens we have to get in touch
with ERYC to send out a special team to collect
and take them away, and once again there is a
significant cost implication to all of this, if
not directly to the Parish Council then to the
local authority, which we in turn have to pay
for. |
| UNSOCIABLE
BEHAVIOUR |
|
The
Parish Council and the Police are concerned about
the problem of unsociable behaviour in the
village. The illegal riding of mini-motor bikes on
the streets, public footpaths and public open
spaces has been reported to the Police. Also acts
of vandalism and underage drinking are being dealt
with by the Police Authority. The Parish Council
are collating a list of all offences, the number
to ring to contact the Parish Council collator is
01964 545898.
The
local Police require all incidents to be reported
by calling 07880 942979. Acts
of unsociable behaviour must be reported as soon
as possible.
