Earlier this year, in May, the County Council carried
out a traffic survey at two points in the village: New Barn Lane and Upper End.
For a week in each location the size and speed of all vehicles was
recorded.
The Parish Council’s analysis of the data provided by
the County Council can be viewed at www.birlingham.org/pc_info/traffic_survey_2016.pdf.
Although data is also available from two previous surveys, in 2006 and 2010, it should be
noted that these surveys were carried out during the winter months, making
comparisons difficult.
The issues of heavy vehicles and speeding will be
discussed at the next Parish Council meeting on Wednesday 21st September. If you
have any comments or concerns to put to the Parish Council, please email news@birlingham.org and we will pass them
on.

8. Village Design
Statement – Landscape Views
Dan Stratford writes:
Thank you to
everyone who has sent in photos of favourite village landscape views for the VDS
photo competition. Although we’ve had a really good response, and the
competition is now closed, we still want to hear from as many people as possible
about aspects of the parish that are important to them. This will form an
essential part of the Village Design Statement. The winners of the competition
will be announced in the next Birlingham News.

I would just
like to thank all my friends and neighbours in the village for all the generous
gifts and kind offers of help since my car crash at the beginning of August. I
am now starting to feel much better and enjoying the sun.
