Alan Brown said that the level of traffic does not meet criteria for any further traffic management except the 20mph Safety Zones. We cannot self fund (eg meet the costs of a zebra crossing out of village funds) as we do not qualify for any safety measures. Alan Brown agreed that the temporary use of the Speed Indicator Devices (SIDs) are effective. Councillor Orton asked whether the Parish Council could purchase their own SIDs instead of borrowing them from the Cluster Parish Councils. PSCO Duckworth said that Highways give permission for only the Police to put out the SIDs. So at the moment, the Parish Council will be unable to manage the SIDs. The Chairman the Clerk to write to the school to update them on recent discussions with Highways and to emphasise parking at the Chequers car park is to be encouraged. PCSO Duckworth said that no crimes had been reported the last meeting.
