20mph TRO

Updated 12th February 2025

KCC Highways are planning to return to complete painting the roundels but as yet have not told us when. If we get advance warning we will post it here.

Update 2nd January 2025

KCC Highways have advised us they will return on the 3rd January to continue placing the 20mph signs around the village. The lead designer will also be looking at the work done to date to ensure the contractors haven’t missed any signs or placed them incorrectly.

Please remember the road painting, of the large roundels will not take place until spring.

Update 12th Dec

Today’s the day – or at least the start of works – after much consultation and waiting it is finally happening!

We have been told the 20mph  signs will be erected now and the road painting will wait until  the spring
