The sharp-eyed among you will have noticed that the SAM2 Speed Monitor is still being deployed in Claxton, despite the fact that it should have transferred to Langley with Hardley (LwH, the co-owner) on 1 December.  We are still awaiting contact from them about transferring the device but can assure you that – either way – it will come back to Claxton on 1 March 2020.  It was moved to a new location today, but we anticipate losing it for a month or more once LwH are ready to receive it.

In the meantime we set out the raw data for December.  First the good news.  Nearly 94% of vehicles coming through the village from the direction of Carleton St Peter are driving within the speed limit.  And 6% of the rest are just above the speed limit (it is not possible to be more precise about exactly how fast these vehicles are going).  OK, they are breaking the law, but not as much as the 26 vehicles passing at between 36 and 50mph.

It is still the intention of the Parish Council to meet with LwH PC to discuss findings but clearly this cannot happen until they have some data to consider.  So that is more likely to happen in the summer.  Where appropriate there will be an item on Claxton Parish Council agendas to cover this issue.  Come along to a meeting if you have a view.  The next one is on Wednesday 15 January at 7.30pm in the Village Hall.
