Help to log accidents on Body Horse Hill, Hinton Parva![]()
![]()
The Parish Council has been asking SBC to reduce the speed limit on Body Horse Hill, Hinton Parva, for years now. We know there are frequent collisions and accidents and we are very concerned for the safety of road users, who include children, dog walkers, cyclists and horse riders.![]()
![]()
Unfortunately, there is no central record of accidents ![]()
unless personal injury is involved, so there is no evidence to support our request. We want to prove there is a problem that requires action.![]()
![]()
Please, if you are involved in or witness an accident on Body Horse Hill, take a minute to email details to the Parish Council - email clerk@bishopstoneandhintonparva.org and we will create a log.![]()
![]()
At the Parish Council's request, SBC marked the road as unsuitable for vehicles wider than 6ft, but a huge number of drivers disregard this signage. Please check the width of your vehicle and avoid Body Horse Hill if it is wider than 6ft or 1.8 metres, or heavier than 7.5 tons (note: agricultural vehicles are exempted).
