The SAM2 has just completed its first month back in Claxton after 3 months in Langley with Hardley.  We have it until the end of May.  The location in March was the 30MPH repeater post at the Village Hall, facing towards Loddon.  We have downloaded the statistics for the month and these are shown below.

The overall number of vehicles going north through the village was almost identical with November, which was also a national lockdown month.  Almost the same percentage (95.2% against 95.7% in November) went through at 35MPH and under, even if one vehicle in five of these was over the legal limit of 30MPH. 

427 passed this point at a speed of 36 MPH or above, 70 of which were above 40MPH, for which there is no excuse – just a regular and flagrant disregard of the law and speed limits and the safety of other road users, including families and the elderly.

Our intention to work with Langley with Hardley Parish Council as a joint initiative has been hampered by their having had just one Parish Council meeting in the past 7 months.  We will need to discuss at our next meeting in May whether to approach the authorities on our own.
