St James The Great Devauden

SAFER ROADS IN DEVAUDEN! 🙌

Great news: new measures to tackle speeding are coming soon to the village.

Following a meeting with Devauden residents last April, we raised their concerns with MCC on several occasions.

I’m really pleased to see that work is now being carried out to make the village safer, including:

✅ Gateway markings at village entrances and removal of the centre line
✅ Priority narrowing near Churchfields
✅ Priority narrowing at the southwest corner of the Green, extending the pavement towards the new houses
✅ Remodelling of the junction at the north end of the Green to provide a southbound bus stop and easier crossing
✅ Speed indicator display signs at the north and southwest ends of the village

Really positive news, making the village safer for both pedestrians and drivers! 👏

As you may have noticed, we have more roofing works ongoing. The good news is that CADW have yet again extended their grant - the not-so-good news is that they can only pay a maximum of 50% of the costs, if the work is completed by the end of February.
