Traffic Calming & Vehicle Data Review – Public Open Forum

11th October 2025, 12-2pm Long Marston Village Hall

Parish Council Commitment to Traffic Calming through the village.

The Parish Council recognising the concerns expressed by residents regarding vehicles travelling through the village faster than they should, have continued to carry out regular monitoring of both car volumes and driver behaviour, ensuring that this data is reviewed on an ongoing basis. We also wish to acknowledge and express our appreciation for the valuable work undertaken by the speed watch team.

To promote transparency and provide residents with access to recorded data, the Parish Council has arranged a dedicated public open forum. This forum will allow members of the community to examine the latest 12 months charts showing driver behaviour and vehicle volume through the village, and to raise any questions or concerns. The Parish Council is committed to facilitating open dialogue and working collaboratively to improve road safety within the village.

We look forward to seeing you on October 11th.

Clerk
Marston Sicca Parish Council

SUSTAINABLE, HEALTHY LIVING EVENT 2025

As part of the councils support for climate change awareness and the environment, the Sustainable, Healthy Living event was held in Meon Vale on April 12th. This is the second year of hosting the event alongside the Meon Vale Residents Association and were delighted with the day’s activities. Attendees enjoyed a variety of activities including a seed and plant swap, learning about the local Eco Group, and clothing repaired by Stratford Repair Café. The event featured exhibiting stalls from Net Zero Stratford (promoting Carbon Literacy Training), WCC’s Food Strategy, and information on sustainable household cleaning (effective alternatives to chemicals-based products). Culinary enthusiasts were treated to vegetarian curries made by Mike Lok during his Masala Spice Masterclass. Educational talks were also held on garden biodiversity by Lucy Hartley and crop research Prof. Rosemary Collier from the University of Warwick’s Crop Centre.
The Sustainable Healthy Living Event was a resounding success, bringing together community members to learn, share and celebrate sustainable living practices.
