Please drive carefully through the villages!Just lately we've been seeing some truly shocking driving, particularly around the junction by Hinton Parva village hall, where there have been two accidents already this week.The Parish Council fought for years to get the speed limit through Hinton Parva reduced to 30mph, to ensure the safety of walkers, riders, animals and drivers in our villages.The width limit on Body Horse Hill is 6ft, also for safety's sake. Please check your vehicle size and take the main road if it is wider than 6ft or 1.8 metres.
