20 is plenty proposed plans
Earlier this year, the authority to apply for 20 MPH schemes (in areas that are currently 30 MPH) was delegated to Parish Councils (without funding).
BWPC have started to investigate the possibility of asking HCC to implement 20 MPH schemes in Bishops Waltham (funded by Bishops Waltham).
One of the areas that has been identified is the “school run” – Free St/Bank St/Lower Lane and Cricklemeed (please see attached a drawn map).
There are other areas such as Coppice Hill, but we are very much aware of issues on the roads leading to schools.
The first phase is consultation; therefore, other Parish Councill Members will be manning a drop in stand on the following dates:
- Friday 25th October 24 – High St near Kings Church 1000 – 1200 hours
- Friday 01st November 24 – Jubilee Hall Foyer (alongside the Country Market and Poppy Selling) 1000 – 1200 hours
- Friday 08th November 24 – Jubilee Hall Foyer (alongside the Country Market and Poppy Selling) 1000 – 1200 hours
Once the data is consolidated, the Parish Council will narrow it down to two or three areas and in the New Year, hold more surgeries to feed the data back to parishioners.
