Traffic Travel Transport Group
Welcome to the Buckland Dinham Traffic, Travel and Transport Group
Next T, T and T meeting : Wednesday 21st January 2025 7pm – Village Hall UPSTAIRS via the back door
The Traffic, Travel and Transport Group materialised from the Parish Plan. Our aim is to consider the outcome of the villagers' opinions from the Parish Plan into the following aspects of the village. These were:
Traffic - traffic volume and noise; speeding traffic
Pedestrian safety - pedestrian safety; narrow pavements / verges; broken/uneven pavements & kerbs
Roads - poor drainage, potholes, mud, road markings
Public transport - insufficient public transport
Cycling - lack of cycle paths
Parking - lack of available parking / parking on pavements
Please see minutes of the last meeting for more details.
The T, T and T group have had plenty of ideas but they need volunteers who can help with each aspect and input from those who can benefit from the ideas.
We meet four times a year and report in to the Parish Council.
Please join in by contacting Sara G via the [email protected] with your ideas.
