| Road Safety Team: Overview |

Team Objectives: The Road Safety team has been established to work on the Action Plan recommendations on traffic and speeding (page 8 of Action Plan), parking (page 6) and pavements (page 10, item 2). We are currently concentrating on two main areas. TRAFFIC CALMING We are looking at all types of traffic calming methods, assessing how they work elsewhere and how they might apply in the village. This work includes options for the length of Plumpton - from the Plough to the Half Moon, including danger areas such as the white bridge. The team has developed a strategy to help us examine each idea carefully and systematically, taking account of a wide range of views. We are determined to ensure proposals enjoy the full support of village residents and are currently gathering essential information which includes the use of the Speed Indicator Device (SID) to gather statistics, and production of a map of accidents and near misses. PARKING We are looking at ways to improve parking and safety near the shop and the station. Shop: The area by the shop is part of the wider evaluation of traffic calming schemes There is no real scope for additional parking spaces. Bim, the shop owner, will continue to do what he can to minimise parking directly outside the shop by customers or delivery vans Station: There is a shortage of parking space in the station area; for users of the Playing Fields; for the Play Group and for commuters. The shortage is causing congestion and annoyance for residents in the area. We are working with the Playing Fields Committee, which is looking at improving their facilities at the pavilion, and talking to Southern Railways about making more Network Rail land available for parking.
