Barham Parish Council are now the proud owners of a 2nd VAS sign, located by De Saumarez Drive, on Norwich Road.  Chairman Darren Milward, proudly shows off the new Vehicle Activated Speed Sign.   The new sign which is the same as the VAS sign which is located the opposite end of Norwich Road, will register and show the speed which a vehicle is travelling and if travelling over 30mph will flash SLOW DOWN.    A Bluetooth Data Collection Unit has also been purchased, so that the Parish Council can download and analyse speed data.   
BMSDC Councillors Tim Passmore and John Whitehead have kindly awarded £3,000 from their Locality Budget towards the cost of the sign.  The Parish Council would like to express their thanks to them as the money is most gratefully received.

Speeding traffic through the village is a great concern and the Parish Council is very much trying to address this in all ways.   Suffolk Highways and Speed Management Team will soon be installing a post in Sandy Lane for a speed indicator device to be placed. 

At the Extra Parish Council meeting which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 13th April, Community Speed Watch is on the agenda for discussion.  The Chairman has already met with PC Mike Small the Community Speed Watch Officer to discuss this for Barham.  A team of 6 volunteers are needed to help develop this for further information see the community speed watch website on
