A number of volunteers kindly helped with a survey to monitor the HGVs passing through our village. It took place on Friday 10th June and information on all HGVs entering the village was registered between the hours of 8 o’clock in the morning and 4 o’clock in the afternoon
- A total of 130 HGVs of various types entered Chearsley Village between the hours of 8.00 – 16.00 on Friday 10th June – 61 via Crendon Rd, 42 via Winchendon Rd, 14 via Chilton Rd and 13 via Aylesbury Rd. By far the largest traffic flow was along the Crendon and Winchendon Roads in both directions
- A lot of vehicles bore no indication of the commercial owners but the most frequently observed haulier was Bucks Recycling with a total of 21 vehicles entering the village during the day
- The total number of vehicles entering the village via the Crendon Rd and Winchendon Roads averaged between 100 and 150 vehicles per hour
This survey work is being carried out in co-operation between Bucks County Council and three of our neighbouring villages – Ashendon, Cuddington and Westcott. The information will be used to develop discussions about possible restrictions on HGVs using minor roads through our villages.
A follow-up survey is planned for Thursday 7th July and we need volunteers to help with the survey work.
If you are able to spare an hour or so on that day, please contact John Howard – jnh@dbmc.co.uk or 07970 651326
