Mad about the volume of traffic in our village? Losing sleep from the noise of speeding vehicles? Now is your chance to have your say.

Many thanks to all who have taken the time to respond to our traffic questionnaire. It is now closed and we are aiming to have results ready by end of August 2024.

The village traffic safety questionnaire was a survey of your opinion of traffic within our village. It was open from Good Friday until the beginning of July 2024, (29 March – 01 July 2024).

Background

When speaking to residents around the village, a range of views about traffic emerge. Opinion ranges from indifference; “It’s not that bad”, to benign acceptance; “I don’t like it, but what can we do about it”, to complete outrage.

The Parish Council has engaged with Warwickshire County Council on this topic. Our aim? To secure traffic control measures to improve the lives of village residents. The survey is your chance to engage and inform this conversation. The Parish Council are very keen to hear your views and to champion your priorities.

So, put on the kettle, sit down with a cup of tea (and a cake, if that’s your thing) and let us know what you think » https://forms.office.com/e/bTeFbmiBnb

The Parish Council has compiled a list of traffic calming measures. It is by no means exhaustive, and not all options are suitable for Welford. However, it makes for a light read while you have your tea, and may help you complete the survey.
