Mobile Vehicle Activated Signs (MVAS)
The solar panels have finally arrived, having been ordered in May, and have now been installed. They are at two of the three most significant locations as determined by the Speed Watch surveys in 2018, where they will remain as permanent fixtures:

By the Cinnamon (monitoring northbound traffic towards Ellington).

By Home Close (monitoring southbound traffic towards Perry and Buckden).

The plan was to site one MVAS by Chestnut Close, rather than Home Close, but this is not feasible due to the overhanging trees, which would render the solar panel ineffective.

The displays will be changed from time to time to help maintain effectiveness, as recommended by Morelock, the manufacturer.


Grafham to Brampton Quietway


Designs and design features for the Brampton to Grafham Quietway have now been published. See above


Please be advised that the planned works have now been delayed and are not now expected to begin until November at the earliest.


Playing Field Update


The Parish Council is currently in discussions with a local football club regarding potential use of the playing field. This could be a great opportunity to bring more community activity to the space.


Watch this space for more details as talks progress.


The next meeting of the Parish Council is to be held on Tuesday 7th October 2025, 7.30pm in the Village Hall.
