Please see attached information regarding the closure of Over Road to facilitate water main replacement and associated works which are being carried out on or near this highway.

The Parish Council wishes to apply for a 20mph Zone in the village, to increase safety and reduce pollution. We need to know what villagers think of this, and which areas should be included in such a zone.

Please complete this survey to let us know your opinion.

We have been advised that school buses have informed pupils that the buses using Station Road as a route for collection will not be running next week while the road is closed. This is not the case. Highways have confirmed that ALL SCHOOL BUSES WILL BE ALLOWED THROUGH AS REQUIRED DURING THE ROADWORKS. Drivers simply need to stop and request access. There may be a slight delay to times as the buses will need to travel at 5mph through the worksite. Schools have been informed of this.
