**NOTICES**
From Parish Councillor Stuart Bridge:
I would be interested if villagers could report any accidents that they see at the Eastwell crossroads on Scalford Road at Cross Roads Farm.
I am trying to get the Give Way signage on the approach to the crossroads from the Waltham-on-the-Wolds direction changed to a STOP sign.
So far, LCC Highways have refused on the basis that the accident records do not justify the change.
A little while ago there was another serious accident involving a car and motorcycle which shut the cross-road for half a day and put the rider in hospital. I propose to talk to Community Support Officer about it.
(If you wish to report an accident, please send it to Stuart via email:
stuart@the stackyard.co.uk OR call him on: 07971 483050)
