road safety - white gates project
Designs for new village "gates" at the 4 main entrances to the village are now being discussed and finalised!
This will take into account all the responses from residents, and the positive feedback from the Highways department regarding placement and sizes.
The "gates" will give visitors the feeling of entering into a residential area where care should be taken.

Bretforton Ahead
Wouldn’t it be nice in our lovely village if we could all feel a little bit safer when walking, cycling, jogging, horse-riding, along our main road? It is a busy road and sees a lot of traffic at peak times of day, including heavy goods vehicles.
Drivers use the road often as a through road, in a rush to get to their destination and maybe not giving much thought to the villagers who live here and want to use the road in a calmer and safer way day-to-day.
One of the ways of reinforcing the idea of entering a residential area is by putting up “gates” or more simply white or eye-catching fencing, at the entrances to the village. This puts into people’s minds that there may be pedestrians, children, cyclists, older people, horse-riders, and strongly suggests to them that they should drive more slowly and carefully.
We have been given the opportunity now by the Parish Council to look into the purchasing of gates for the 4 main entrances into the village (on the B3045 from Weston / the B4035 from Badsey / the Bretforton Road from Honeybourne / Station Road from Blackminster).
All views welcomed!
