Street Naming at Capstone Fields
Dear resident,
We have some interesting news regarding street names of Capstone Fields – which is the new development of 155 dwellings happening on St Neot’s Road.Hardwick Parish Council has asked the developers to name the streets in the development in memory of deceased former residents of the village.The Parish Council has considered residents who have now sadly passed away but who it believes made a significant and special contribution to the village during their lifetime.This Parish Council proposal has been agreed by the developers and by South Cambridgeshire District Council and the street names will be:
| Street name | In memory of |
|---|---|
| Howells Way | Lynne Howells |
| Lofty Close | Ann Lofty |
| Turner Close | Ken Turner |
| Bhachu Drive | Jagmohan Bhachu and Tejinder Bhachu |
| Barker Way | Ray Barker |
Any queries about the above, please contact the clerk
Give-Way Traffic Calming on Cambridge Road
As a result of The 2018 Village Plan survey, one of residents’ top fears for safety in Hardwick was from traffic speeding through the village. 89% of those who responded (371) “think this should be tackled in some way”. The Parish Council used the village Speed Displays to verify the excess speed being measured and consulted County Highways as to the best solution to reduce it.
The result is the /Priority /Give Way scheme shown below. Option 2 was selected as this provides better access from Egremont Road at peak times.
This type of solution is used by many neighbouring villages and we expect it will improve respect for the village safety and disregard of the legal limits. The Parish Council will monitor the effectiveness of the scheme and review the results in 12 months’ time.
Installation should follow the current Footpath Upgrade which still around 2 to 3 weeks from completion.
