Thank you very much to the 20 people that submitted the survey regarding a Lengthsman for the village.

We are very keen to get to 50 replies if possible, Nick will now be putting a print pack this week which will be delivered through all the doors in the village in the coming weeks.

If you have not submitted yet just a few minutes of your time would be very much appreciated.

Lengthsman - Survey Posted: 08 Mar 2010 07:20 AM PST
The Parish Council recently considered recruiting a "lengthsman" to maintain the common parts of the parish for actively than at present. This could involve clearing footpaths and verges, removing litter and leaves, cleaning bus shelters and signs, clearing drains and culverts, and so on – in general any light-to-medium-duty work to improve the environment. In order to gauge opinions of what extra work, if any, is needed and how valuable it would be, the following short online questionnaire is being conducted. Please can we ask that you spend a few minutes filling it in, as it will be very useful in planning future services.

I'm an 'ancient Hursley resident', researching for an article/series of
articles about Growing Up In Hursley, using the actual words of the people
concerned. I'm passionate about Hursley and its 'oral history' - it's so important to
capture the words, they're very precious. I've already talked to some residents who've lived here all their lives and
it's fascinating to hear their stories. Schooldays, Christmas, the Village Shops, what you got up to in the school
holidays, entertainment, pranks and parties - whatever you want to tell me
about. If you'd like to help, or you know someone who might have a story to tell,
just give me a call or contact me via this web site. Many thanks in advance. Linda Hewett Telephone: 01962 775455

Beat priorities

PC Mark Smith just commented on the post "Beat priorities" on Hursley Village - News Archive

I don't believe that the village needs to fundraise. Speeding will be dealt but please remember it does not mean persons will respect the speed limit. When we are there it has the desired effect. Unfortunately there are always rogue drivers out there who will speed excessively! Regarding schools we do have contact and Gavin and I have been to see the village school's head to get involved. We already do this at Otterbourne and Compton school, and my colleagues at Twyford who cover Stanmore engage at Kings School.

Regarding beat surgeries our first one will be am on Sat 03/04/10. I will ensure posters and details are circulated with times. I anticipate doing surgeries every few months and moving between weekday evenings and mornings at weekends.

I attended the Hursley Parish Council meeting this Monday with the view to
obtaining an update regarding the Flashing Speed Sign that we have been
patiently waiting for Amey to install for good knows how long.

It seems that Amey had not ordered enough sockets and therefor have been
unable to install the signs. Having said that, Hursley has the necessary
poles in place, and now Amey have the appropriate sockets, we are able to go
ahead and put the sign up. It was noted at the meeting that we should have
the sign up by the end of the week! Keep em peeled!

It was also reported (and on the HVI news comments page) on the Police
Report that a small speed enforcement operation was held in the village last
week and three drivers have been "dealt with" regarding speeding in the
village. Mark and Gavin (local beat officers) will soon be speed gun
trained, so we hope they will be in a position to deal with speeders more
regularly. They do say "discretion is out of the window! If you speed you
are going to be dealt with!" Finally an initiative called "Community Speed Awareness Team" (CSAT) was
also mentioned and seemed to receive a positive response from councillors.
This scheme is in use in other areas of the country whereby, in
collaboration and training with the local police, members of the community
are trained in the use of a speed gun. Once trained and authorised the CSAT
can deploy in the village and carryout a high vis overt monitoring and
reporting function using the speed gun. Data is reported back to the police
for their action and held in archive for continued data on traffic
statistics in the village. This is seen as a very proactive approach that
villagers can take in helping to raise the speed awareness message to those
drivers that continue to speed in our village. It was agreed at the meeting
that the HPC would investigate with the local police if such a scheme could
be started here in Hursley. I will report back on this in due course.

Regards
H
