Traffic calming

A parishioner has enquired about public consultation on traffic calming in the village. There will be a presentation by a representative from Amey to the Parish Council at 7 pm on Wednesday 15 July (Baptist Church not village hall note). The latest update from  Amey states: 

We have obtained the traffic count, speed and accident data and are currently analysing this for trends and to see what we can learn from it, as that will advise and influence design and types of traffic calming features. The designs for the 2 pedestrian crossings have also been carried out and costs for these will be available shortly. We are now continuing to investigate design options for the scheme.
 
With regards to time frames I would suggest that we will be in a position to discuss design options with the Parish Council in July with a view to public consultation/exhibition taking place immediately after the school holidays, i.e early September. Following successful consultation, the requisite legal procedures could be entered into for the crossings and whatever traffic calming has been deemed necessary and accepted in the consultation (of course these are open to objection) with construction taking place in the period Jan to Mar 2010.
