AQMA
After 5 years of data collection, part of the B3000 is made an Air Quality Management Area. No workable solution has yet been implemented by GBC.

The Avenue
Roadside shrubbery is cleared to improve pedestrian safety.
Almsgate
Ditch deepened to improve drainage.
Hand Rail
A handrail is erected at Watts Cemetery to improve safety for visitors
30 MPH VAS
A camera sign with the 30 MPH VAS was agreed but unfortunately, SCC replaced it, without the sign, as lack of police checks meant the B3000 failed the criteria test.
Play Area
A new fence and extended activity centre is added to the play area in phase one of the scheme. A Zip-wire will hopefully follow in phase 2.
