Community Footpath Update 🌿

Last Saturday (7 March), our volunteer councillors were out clearing the footpath from Red Barn eastwards towards the Downs. This important work will help reduce the risk of storm damage and make it easier to mow the path during the summer months.

We hope many of you have been able to enjoy our beautiful countryside in today’s lovely weather. If you spot any issues with local footpaths while you’re out and about, please do get in touch and let us know.

🚗 Speed Indicator Device Installed 🚗

Cherhill Parish Council is pleased to inform residents that the new Speed Indicator Device (SID) has been installed today on the A4 in Cherhill.

The SID is part of our ongoing work to improve road safety within the parish by encouraging drivers to be more aware of their speed and to help reduce speeding through our community.

The SID will be in rotation between the three locations at either end of the 40mph section through Cherhill, and the current location near the School.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this initiative. We appreciate residents’ continued cooperation in helping to keep Cherhill safe for all road users, pedestrians, and cyclists.

If you have any feedback or questions, please feel free to contact the Parish Council.

Parish Council volunteers have unblocked the road drain outside of the Pre-School gate this afternoon. Hopefully this will resolve the issue, but please let us know if it starts to back up again.
