Your Parish Council carried out a survey of the traffic travelling through our village during late July. The survey was done in conjunction with Somerset Council and consisted of both a camera survey and a radar speed survey. The camera survey took place between the hours of 07.00 -19.00 for 7 days and the radar survey was 24hrs per day. The objectives were to:
- Understand if traffic numbers have increased over a period of time
- Establish whether HGV’s and LGV’s had increased over that period
- To confirm the extent of vehicles travelling in excess of the speed limit and is our SID effective.
- To identify risks to pedestrians and other vulnerable road users.
As you would expect the survey delivered a large amount of data which has been analysed in the report attached below and all of the camera footage has been examined to help our understanding.

Additionally the Highways Report discussed at the October Parish Council is available to read below. At the meeting it was agreed to contact our Somerset Councillor and ask for help in assessing any safety issues around the White Cottages for homeowners and pedestrians.
