Traffic management in Brill
A village poll in January 2022 placed parking and speeding as the top two traffic-related concerns within the community. See the results and read comments submitted by respondents.
Cllr Steven Judge (co-opted to the Parish Council in May 2022) is the liaison councillor with Bucks Highways. Roads & Traffic are a fixture on our agenda but progress on our objectives is painfully slow, mainly due to financial and legal constraints beyond out control. We have, however, now got two speed indicator devices (SIDs) rotating through our four access roads which we believe, anecdotally, are having a beneficial impact.
2024’s annual Parish Meeting included a presentation by PC Lee Turnham on Community Speedwatch. Community Speedwatch uses personalised education to change the behaviour of speeding motorists. Although an effective local Speedwatch programme depends on proactive community volunteers, they are supported at every step by Thames Valley Police. Detection equipment is on permanent loan and speeding motorists are swiftly followed up by police officers.
Brill Parish Council believes that Speedwatch in Brill would be an effective response to the perennial problem of motorists speeding though our village. Please give serious thought to volunteering a little of your time; the more volunteers we have, the smaller would be individual committment.
