Day of ActionThursday 21st OctoberA very pedestrian protest!Not only were the signs back on display in Furzehill but many residents were seen walking up and down the road during the day. It was clear that some motorists had no appreciation that this is a residential area and were not allowing for the presence of pedestrians.
The number of volunteers who turned out on the day certainly showed the strength of feeling about the current situation. The day started out as normal with goods vehicles and
trade vehicles

As
experienced in previous surveys, there was a significant number of heavy goods
vehicles travelling through the hamlet - certainly not the type or volume of
traffic acceptable on a country lane.
thundering through our hamlet but as the day wore on it was evident that word
had spread and the lorries were taking an alternative route. Volunteers by
the Horton road witnessed this as some lorries that regularly use Furzehill went
by on the Horton road. If they can do it on a protest day why
not every day?
