You asked us to look into reports of excess speed in and around the village of Thurston.

Objective

Problems mainly occur in Barton Road, Beyton Road & Station Hill causing concern to residents and visistirs to the village.

• Speed enforcement to be carried out by Police.
• County Councillor to explore the use of Traffic Monitoring equipment.
• SNT officers to liaise with the Parish Council regarding the formation of a Community Speed Watch Scheme.

 

Update
At the meeting on 17th February an update was provided in relation to the speed sites as suggested by Thurston Parish Council on the 17th December. The statistics supported the problem in Barton Road where, during January, 4 checks were carried out with 7 fixed penalty notices being issued and 8 drivers warned for excess speed but in relation to Beyton Road & Station Hill the problem was alot less.

In view of this the sites in Beyton Road & Station Hill were removed but at the same meeting a member of public from Thurston wished to raise parking problems in School Road around the Primary School during pick up/drop off times as an issue.

This parking problem was something that the Pcso Simon Myall was already aware of and has already planned a multi agency meeting in early March with SCC Road Safety as well as County/District and Parish Councillors being present to decide a way forward to deal with this problem effectively.

An update from that meeting will be printed on this website.

Outcome

Details to follow soon.
