To address concerns raised by the local
community regarding the signing of a short series of bends to the
west of the village and to mitigate the speed of vehicles and
unsafe overtaking on the A6068 at the east end of the
village.
Introduction of a 40mph through the bends was
considered but did not comply with DfT guidelines.
Alternative measures to stop overtaking were investigated but
discounted as likely to be less effective than recommended
proposal.
