Battisford Parish Council uses our Speed Indicator Device at four parish locations to indicate to motorists their speed in an attempt to reduce incidences of vehicle speeding in 30mph zones.
Data is routinely analysed and reported at parish council meetings.
Despite the speed reduction effect of the SID, over 30% of recorded vehicle movements remain in excess of the 30mph limit, with utterly inappropriate speeds of 65-75mph seen at some locations.
Suffolk Roadsafe Partnership offer the opportunity for local councils to apply for the temporary siting of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras where there is an agreed need.
The Roadsafe Partnership’s intention is to educate motorists, not to prosecute, However, repeat offences will be reported to Suffolk Police. Detail of the scheme can be found at https://www.suffolk.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/council-news/show/automatic-number-plate-recognition-cameras-to-be-installed-in-villages-across-suffolk
Battisford PC intends to make such applications to supplement our SID. To do so requires the support of our County Councillor and residents.
Cllr Kay Oakes has kindly already pledged to support our application. We request that residents of Battisford parish also confirm their support. If you wish to do so, please email clerk@battisfordpc.org.uk, stating your agreement, your name and address.
You may alternatively complete the template letter available at http://www.battisfordpc.org.uk/battisford-parish-council and email to clerk@battisfordpc.org.uk.
You can also print the letter, complete with your name and address, and hand to any parish councillor.
All personal data will be processed and held in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations (Data Protection Act 2018).
Responses would be welcome by 31 July 2021 (now closed)
Thank you in anticipation.

Dial-A-Ride is a local door to door transport service, using easy access minibuses. Each minibus has low steps, handrails and a lift for wheelchair access.
There are now services across most of Suffolk, run by voluntary organisations and funded by the County Council.
Dial-A-Ride is available to anyone who cannot access conventional bus services because of where they live or mobility difficulties.
HOW DO YOU USE IT?
Dial-A-Ride services enable passengers to travel locally, for example to visit friends and relatives, go to the rail station or take a trip to the shops. Regular journeys such as those to hospital appointments and day centres are not normally undertaken. Journeys require advance booking and are allocated on a first call, first served basis. The fare is similar to ordinary bus services.
