HVS Traffic Calming Strategy
One of the main concerns that HVS members raise is speeding in Hurst. A lot of work has been done by the Parish Council to reduce speeding, but the problem persists.

A dedicated section of the HVS website is being prepared with more information, once this goes live it will be included in our newsletter.
