BBC visit village Speedwatch Team

A BBC feature about how villages in the South are managing speeding traffic, the traffic calming
measures they use and whether these differ from those practices used in city centres is expected
to be broadcast on the BBC South News programme on Thursday 1st October and Friday 2nd.

BBC iPlayer of South Today episode

The feature briefly explains how a village speed watch group operates and explores the risks
from, and possible consequences to, drivers who speed through villages. The programme asks
whether local communities should be able to decide on their speed limits, a suggestion made
and being pursued by Danny Chambers the MP for Winchester amongst others.

In researching for the article, BBC South journalist Frankie Peck contacted the Hambledon Community Speed Watch team to ask if we would be willing to take part. We were delighted to do so. On a recent lovely sunny morning, Frankie and her camera man Peter spent a couple of hours with the team outside the Village Hall watching and filming one of our sessions.

WHAT A FEW WEEKS IT HAS BEEN!

HAMBLEDON ROCKED, IT ROLLED, IT REMEMBERED AND IT RESPECTED.

It all started on the Thursday before the Festival Weekend (June 19th, 20th and 21st) when Jane Woolley’s many village friends gathered to remember her contribution to our village by joining in her 90th Birthday celebration on the Cricket Green.

It continued the following day with a large crowd gathered to hear two fine bands performing at Jazz on The Green, heralding the start of the Hambledon Festival.

On the Saturday Hambledon’s ever-popular traditional village fete took place, with a large variety of stands, stalls, displays and the dog show, always a star attraction for young and old.

In the evening the Ball in the marquee was a big success with every table taken by villagers, family and friends to eat, party, and enjoy dancing until midnight to live music, supplemented by a beer bar operated by the Merry Harriers. It rocked! (photo galleries)
