With the increase in the number of accidents, 5 since the New Year, the local residents along with the Parish Council, County Councillor Ralph Muncer and MP Alistair Strathern have been pushing for the speed limit on the B656 to be reduced to 40mph, along with changing the crossroads from ‘Give Way’ to ‘Stop’. One of the main stumbling blocks is the cost but already a local Developer has given £5000, and Ralph has pledged part of his limited budget to fund a survey. We are grateful to BBC Three Counties Radio and BBC Look East for highlighting this issue.
