Questionnaire Results: Traffic and Transport<br />

Traffic using Slaughter<strong>for</strong>d as a<br />

cut-through is causing problems<br />

as well as vehicles being<br />

directed along the narrow lanes<br />

by satellite navigation systems.<br />

Damage to verges by large<br />

vehicles – and said vehicles<br />

getting stuck – is again often the<br />

result of direction by satellite<br />

navigation systems. The council<br />

and police are aware of such<br />

problems.<br />

The increase in size and speed<br />

of agricultural vehicles using the<br />

roads through the parish<br />

sometimes causes problems<br />

especially where the lanes are<br />

narrow and there are few<br />

passing places. An even greater<br />

problem is posed in the<br />

Slaughter<strong>for</strong>d lane network <strong>for</strong><br />

residents and road users alike by<br />

the lack of any specific speed<br />

restrictions.<br />

Allowance has to be made within<br />

a farming community and<br />

respect and understanding of the<br />

needs of the community must be<br />

encouraged.<br />
