Annual Parish Meeting - Follow Up Notice
Thank you very much for coming to our Annual Parish meeting last week, and for your valuable engagement in the topics we discussed. It was very good to receive your supportive comments with regard to the proposed Neighbourhood Plan and we will come back to you soon with more information on this and how you can get involved if you wish to.
We promised to act on your very strong views on Loseley’s work in Bummoor Copse and we asked you to let us have your comments via an email set up specifically for that purpose. However, unfortunately, there has been some unexplained illegal activity on that account and it has been permanently blocked, which means that we cannot access or reply to your emails.
Please would you re-send them to joanna@joannacadman.com, and they will be responded to immediately.

The SCC event is on 3rd Feb 4.00 pm-8.00 pm and 5th Feb 11.00 am-3.00 pm at the Village Hall.
A village meeting to discuss the proposals will be held at the Compton Club on 12th February at 7.30 (the bar opens at 6.30).

The Street, Compton, Highway & Public Realm Improvements [£0.4 million]
15.The project will introduce traffic calming measures to improve road safety and enhance public realm in Compton, creating a high-quality environment which is attractive and safe for all road users.
16.The project seeks to introduce raised tables in suitable locations along The Street to address known speeding issues. Gateways into the village will also further help reduce vehicle speeds. These will be co-designed with community groups, residents and the Parish Council to ensure they reflect and celebrate local heritage. The project will include enhancement of the existing public realm and improved biodiversity through the introduction of new planting areas and seating. This will create a more pleasant space for residents to enjoy, contributing to improved health and wellbeing. Pedestrian and cycle improvements are also being considered along Down Lane, encouraging access to The Watts Gallery and Chapel. The bus stop area outside the Watts Gallery will be upgraded to further encourage active travel and create a safe waiting area for pedestrians.
17.Initial stakeholder engagement has taken place with the Parish Council and other key local stakeholders such as Watts Gallery. A wider community engagement event is planned to take place in March.
18.The total cost of the scheme is estimated to be in the region of £400,000 funded by SCC. Match funding options are limited in this locality but are currently being explored, and if secured would reduce the SCC proposed contribution accordingly.
