Details:
Parking is consistently highlighted as an ongoing concern that affects many of Great Cornards residents. Alongside this, concern has been raised in relation to the speed of vehicles passing the local schools especially during peak drop off and pick up times.

Objectives:

We will continue to patrol all residential areas and where offences are identified either deal with the offenders either by the giving of suitable words of advice or where appropriate the issuing of Fixed Penalty Tickets. We will continue to provide a visible presence outside the schools at peak times., identifying offenders and dealing with them proactively. We will carry out speed checks of motorists in areas of concern.

Updates:

There is no quick fix to the issue of parking within Great Cornard. Quite simply there has been an increase of cars per household over recent years but no substantial increase in parking arrangements. We continue to raise specific concerns with Babergh District Council and Great Cornard Parish Council and speak to repeat offenders directly. Officers have issued Fixed Penalty Notices where offences have been committed. We are currently in the process of training Great Cornard SNT officers in the use of Speed Detection technology, which will soon be put to effective use in deterring, and preventing speeding offences.
