20 mph Speed limit in Sedgwick

12/9/2023

 
At our meeting (7:30 Village hall Thursday 13th September) we will be discussing the next steps in obtaining a 20mph speed limit in Sedgwick. The motion is

Following over a decade of resident concern over pedestrian safety in our village, Sedgwick Parish Council would like to formally request that a 20mph speed limit be introduced in the Village. We have almost no pavements or street lighting, resident parking is on the roadside make it difficult for pedestrians to cross the roads, traffic levels are disproportionately high, as we are used as a rat run between Brettargh Holt and the A65 (and this will worsen as new housing developments are built), there are many agricultural vehicles that need to use the village centre and there are countless near misses under the narrow aqueduct and on blind junctions. We believe a 20mph speed limit would radically improve pedestrian safety for our residents.

Please come along to express your views.

Vandalism

24/7/2023

 
Unfortunately the vandalism that is taking place on the Canal and Millennium Field has escalated. The Stoker Seat at the Sedgwick Hill Bridge End of the Canal Wildlife Area has been vandalised and left completely unsafe. It has been removed and the matter has been reported to the Police. If anyone has information about the damage, please contact us.

A replacement will cost approximately £1000 or 10% of our annual budget and this wlll mean we will have less money available for other areas.

We have been advised by the Police, to install CCTV cameras to deter the people responsible.

SEDGWICK BUS SHELTER PROJECT: GREAT NEWS!!

13/3/2023

 
We reported at the Annual Parish Meeting, that at last, we are making good progress with our Bus Shelter Project
The
Cumbria County Council Highway Department and Bus Infrastructure Officer’s report which they produced last year, has been considered by their grants panel. We are pleased to report that we have received the funding and the go ahead from them, to install the shelter near the finger post sign post at the top of Back Lane.
We are hoping the shelter will be ready by the end of April,  with groundworks starting before then.

It will benefit all those who use the local service and school buses, who often get wet when they have wait in the rain. The more we use our local rural bus services, the more likely it is that they will remain viable, and every bus journey reduces the need for a short car journey which means fewer harmful emissions and that is good for the environment.
This is a similar design to the one chosen for Sedgwick.
