You are saying ... Volume of traffic has increased and also the number of speeding vehicles through Upwey Village, starting from Stottingway Street and ending Goulds Hill.

We are doing ... We attended the Community meeting at the start of the year held at the Upwey Village Hall, Church Street.

This meeting resulting in the establishment of an action focusing on the issues raised by the residents. We are working with the committee alongside Dorset County Council and local Councillor Michael Goodman. We have been conducting speed checks at Stottingway Street, Church Street and Goulds Hill resulting in driver education and enforcement for speeding motorists. Dorset County Council have installed traffic monitoring equipment in the area to measure the levels of traffic.

We continue to work with the local community over these issues. Including setting up a SNT Post box and post cards at Upwey Village Hall for the community to tell us their issues.                 

You Are Saying ... Concern from residents at the Finches over the increase in thefts from motor vehicles in the area.

We Are Doing ... We are working with the residents of Broadway to increase the number of households included in the local neighbourhood Watch Scheme and Ringmaster system empowering and informing the residents with news and information. We are working closely with the SNT team for Littlemoor to maximise the number of local patrols across the area.  

You Are Saying ... Pupils causing problems to residents, such as littering, whilst walking home from Budmouth School at the end of the school day.

We Are Doing ... We have worked with Budmouth School and staff to educate the pupils to minimise disruption to the wider community at the end of the school day. We also conducted patrols at the start and end of the school day to educate the pupils as to their impact on the residents.
