March Hilton Action on Traffic Group (HAT) report
Efforts are continuing to try to convince County Council that they must tackle speeding through Hilton and remove HGV’s from our roads. In the absence of sufficient personal accident injury statistics, there are no signs that County Highways are as yet prepared to take our problems seriously.
A group of villagers living along and close to Graveley Way has been pressing County Council to implement more effective speed reduction measures on that road. HAT is supportive of this initiative, within the context of Hilton’s much wider problems with traffic, in particular on B1040.
Recent HAT activities
· Radio Cambridgeshire interviewed Hilton residents at the roadside during a live programme on the effects of HGV’s using unsuitable roads through Cambridgeshire villages
· Hilton’s traffic issues were taken up at St Ives Area Road Safety Committee and once again at the local Neighbourhood Policing Panel
· We received a presentation and demonstration from local Police on St Ives area “Speedwatch” volunteer scheme
· We met with Jonathan Djanogly MP to request his support for action
