| The residents felt these issues were a priority and that the authorities did not
appreciate what a devastating effect they were having on the environment at
Furzehill.
Further research was carried out to establish what
authorities had done about similar problems in the county and also in other areas, with the emphasis on
what worked.
Also locally situations were examined
where these problems are not present and it was established that Furzehill has not been granted the
same rights such as the monitoring of vehicle use and inclusion in local
transport plans, particularly regarding access and use by heavy goods
vehicles.
A Village Plan was compiled using the concepts laid out in the Countryside
Agency web site and reference made to the document: 'Our Countryside: The
Future, A Fair Deal for Rural England'.
Although the headings focus on traffic matters, when action is taken the whole
environment for the Hamlet will improve and will become a better community
for all who live here. |
