Butleigh village parking

The Neighbourhood Policing Team have been made aware of poor parking around the outside of the village school at both ends of the school day.

The local policing team will continue to patrol the location where possible and engage with motorists and the school in an effort to improve parking in the village during these times.

We would ask parents to consider parking sensibly when in the village and not to obstruct free passage of other road users.

Any obstructions should be reported on the 101 number at the time of the incident.

  The Neighbourhood Team have been out in the village paying passing attention.

  We are also aware of HGVs that are following Satnavs through the village, which is causing some concerns for local residents and understand that the village council are in discussions with Somerset Highways to look at the possibility of implementing weight restrictions if agreed.

  We have also carried out some speed enforcement checks through Sub Road in the village and will continue to do so when we have any downtime to do so.

  The Speed Enforcement Unit continue to visit the village periodically to carryout enforcement.

  Anyone can join or start up a new Community SpeedWatch (CSW) team in the village through our website. You will need at least three volunteers to start a new CSW team.
