  • NEWSLETTER NO. 6 - Mar 2005
    1 NEWSLETTER NO. 6 - Mar 2005 The Society’s first Annual General Meeting, attended by 73 members, was held on 12 Dec 2004; the full report can be found on the Society website. Membership at year end totalled 150, of which 62 were family members. As a result, and because functions in 2004 had produced a useful profit, the Society had a year end surplus of £1757. The outlook for 2005 was promising, if membership renewals continued at a high rate, but expenses were likely to be higher for speakers and for the quarterly newsletter. The meeting endorsed the Constitution and elected the Committee to run the Society for the next twelve months. The programme of talks for 2005 had also been settled and the Chairman hoped that the mix of topics would continue to provide something of interest to every member. Mulled wine and mince pies were served and then representatives of the five task groups reported on the year’s progress. Development of Wadhurst (Rachel Ring): The group had decided to place emphasis on the Victorian period. They had done very interesting work with the Courthope Map (c 1840) and a 36’ x 12’ Tithe Map: six back-breaking hours had been spent tracing this. A fascinating picture had been created and was on display. Estates and Buildings (Michael Harte): A visit had been made to Wadhurst Park with a tour of the house, contents and estate buildings. This had led to the three-part article in the Newsletters. A visit to Snape Barn had been interesting— especially a painted board with the iron-master’s poem.

    Appendix 2 Speed Management Programme The Speed Management Programme forms part of a wider road safety review to reduce the number of killed and serious injury (KSI’s) crashes in the County. Those lengths of the rural A and B class network in the County where the KSI crash score was above the County average or where there was a high number of KSI’s were identified. All the identified roads were then visited to determine the most appropriate intervention for each location. Once we had determined the type of intervention a 2 year action plan was prioritised based on the number of KSI’s and the type of intervention. The locations that were identified in first year of the Speed Management Programme and the progress that has been made in each location to date is summarised below.
