Who we are - A group of Frithelstock residents who wish to reduce the speed of traffic passing through the village by:
- lobbying for effective traffic calming and speed limit enforcement
- promoting the adoption of new solutions to traffic speed problems
- helping in the implementation of schemes to reduce traffic speedmonitoring speed through our village
Where are we - Frithelstock is a small parish, within the Torridge local authority. Speeding occurs throughout the village, but specifically along the A388 to and from Monkleigh / Stibb Cross and from the A386 Torrington Road
Excessive speed of traffic is possibly the most serious and emotive day-to-day problem in Frithelstock. Speeding traffic not only poses a risk to life and limb, but intimidates residents on their own streets, in their own houses and disrupts the community by making it difficult to walk around freely, particularly if you are elderly, infirm or young. Despite the importance attached to traffic problems by residents, it has proved almost impossible to get effective action from the responsible authorities. This blog is set up as a direct result of a serious accident involving a family in our village.
The initial aim of this blog is to:
- encourage community participation and support for the campaign
- offer a forum for discussion and feedback
- raise awareness of the issues in respect of speeding traffic through the village
