RATS

No its not a rodent problem but a new action group set up to do something about traffic in Flitton and Greenfield. Residents Against Traffic Speed RATS are lobbying for measures to stop these villages being used as a "rat run", and in particular to....

• Work to reduce excessive speed of HGV’s (especially through the night)
• Achieve traffic calming measures through the village
• Lobby to have the road resurfaced

They are organising a petition/survey which I will be distributing along with the rest of the Parish Council next week. Traffic has been one of the main issues I have been keen to do something about and having the evidence of the impact it is having locally is so important when arguing the case for something to be done. So please when you get the petition make sure you make you make your feelings known.

For more info on RATS contact me and I will put you in touch with one of the organisers or better still follow their progress on Twitter at http://twitter.com/GreenfieldRATS
