Glapthorn Parish Action Plan to deal with speeding vehicles 3 Executive Summary

Glapthorn Parish Council commissioned a review of the risks around speeding in the village in July 2015. A local Working Group has consulted with members of the Northamptonshire County Council, the Police, officials at Glapthorn School, and local residents. Their consultation has highlighted a number of issues. These are set out in this report together with important recommendations that we ask Northamptonshire County Council and the Police to respond on. They key points to note are:

• There is a long history of speeding in and around the village. Measures were taken to mitigate the risks in 2010 with the installation of Vehicle Activation Signs (VAS) on Southwick Road and a Speed Watch campaign. • Up to date quantitative data suggests that speeding remains a risk on the Southwick Road and also near the village school. • Feedback from residents and parents highlights ongoing concerns. • Pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders and dog walkers face risks around speeding vehicles where speed limits are enforceable. In addition, the national speed limits in place around the village exacerbate these risks. • The position of the village lends itself to vehicles taking a shorter route between and Oundle/Peterborough, with the inevitable implication of speeding. Entry points to the village and the position of some road markings are considered to add incremental risk. • The County Council’s decision to close Oundle Middle School, has resulted in a planned growth for the village school of up to 20% in pupil numbers between 2014 and 2017. No consideration of the increased risks around road safety appear to have been made.

Glapthorn Parish Action Plan to deal with speeding vehicles 4 • This report recommends a series of initiatives that are intended to reduce overall speeds in and around the village. These include preventative and enforcement measures.

We respectfully ask that the Northamptonshire County Council and the Force carefully consider each of the recommendations that have been set out in this report (see section 6), and provide a written response to each. The Working Group intend to provide access to this report to all local residents and to carry out a publicity campaign to increase awareness. Copies of the responses from NCC and the Police will be provided to each household.

Glapthorn Parish Action Plan to deal with speeding vehicles 5 Report

1. Introduction This report has been commissioned by the Glapthorn Parish Council following a number of representations by local residents about the continuing dangers villagers face from speeding vehicles.

At the Parish Council meeting on the 23 July 2015, it was agreed that a Working Group would be established, comprising local residents and led by Councillor Rob McQuade to assess the options for dealing with speeding vehicles.

This reports sets out the findings and recommendations of the Working Group. The content and the recommendations within the report have been compiled with contributions and help from:

• Rob McQuade, local resident and Parish Councillor • Jeff Knowles, local resident and lead for the Community Speed Watch Programme • Katherine Towns, Head of Glapthorn Primary School • Robin Cooper, local resident • Roy Sparkes, Oundle Town Councillor • Alan Tresadern, Glapthorn Parish Clerk • Joanne Sawyer, Burser at Glapthorn Primary School • Sarah Barnwell, NCC Highways Community Liason Officer • Steve Barber, NCC VAS Projects Officer • Jay Shah, NCC Safer Routes to School Officer • Chris Smith, Northamptonshire Police Safer Roads Team.

6 2. Background Local residents consider risks around road safety to be long standing. Concerns have been raised to the Parish Council verbally and in writing for many years. A number of initiatives have been pursued, not least the installation of two Vehicle Activation (VAS) signs on the Oundle to Southwick Road in 2010 following a community led review. A Community Speed Watch Programme was also carried out in 2010 which had a short term impact on reducing the excessive speed of some vehicles.

Northamptonshire County Council’s pre study advice was that they do not consider Glapthorn to be a high risk area based upon relative numbers of accidents and fatalities. However, residents of this small village remain concerned and dispute this view. They recall the incident of a parent who was killed by a speeding vehicle outside the village school; a head on collision on the Oundle to Southwick Road that resulted in Air Ambulance assistance; recent car crashes on the periphery of the Parish Boundary near Cotterstock; and a number of near misses in the proximity of the school.

In 2014, the village school was advised that it would have to expand to accommodate additional numbers of children to facilitate the closure of the Oundle Middle School. This would mean up to a 20% increase in numbers between 2014 and 2016. No preparatory or remedial measures were considered by the County Council to deal with the inevitable increase in the number of vehicles and children in the vicinity of the school.

It is against this backdrop that local residents have voiced their concerns to the Parish Council. The Working Group is cognisant of the fact that the Parish Council has only very limited authority and budgetary capabilities to fully deal with the risks around speeding. Therefore, this report sets out a number of recommendations that Northamptonshire County Council

7 (NCC) and the Police are asked to carefully consider in order to reduce the risks faced by local residents. The local community, supported by the Parish Council, are of the view that proportionate measures should be taken to prevent the risk of future injuries and fatalities. This report asks that the NCC supports the recommendations in a practical and financial way. The fundamental recommendation is that NCC makes a commitment to demonstrate that it will not pursue the option of waiting for a fatality to occur before taking action.

3. Objectives of the Working Group

At the Parish Council meeting held on the 23 July 2015, it was agreed that a new working group would be set up to assess options for dealing with vehicle speeding. The purpose of the working group would be to:

• Quantify the extent to which speeding in and around the village poses a threat to the safety of pedestrians and other road users; • Assess options for dealing with speeding. As part of this, consider measures for Prevention and Enforcement; • Lead discussions with the Police and the County & District councils to influence change.

8 4. Situation 4.1 Overview of the village roads Glapthorn village sits approximately 1.5 miles North West of Oundle. The village sits adjacent to where the ‘Oundle to Southwick’ road and the ‘Upper to Cotterstock’ road intersect (Point A on the map below). Fig 1:

To Southwick up hill A C D From Corby B A From Oundle down hill

The road from Oundle to Glapthorn appears to be unclassified. The road descends down a hill from Oundle to the south east corner of the village (point B on the map). This road is approximately 6 meters wide and has no white lines along the middle until you enter the village. The national speed limit is in force down the hill meaning that vehicles can be driving up to 60 miles per hour c25 meters before the first house. It is possible that the white lines may act as a visual cue to some motorists suggesting the road conditions improve at the foot of the hill, thus discouraging the need to slow down, despite the immediate entry to the village. From point B to point A on the map, the road has white lines through and beyond the exit of the village. The road beyond the last house towards point A winds over a brook (point D) and then upwards in the direction of Southwick. It 9 is the point of the road over the brook (point D) at which a serious accident occurred in 2010. The following photographs illustrate the situation:

Point C on the map is where the village school is situated. Unlike many villages, Glapthorn Primary School is situated right on the edge of the village. The school is positioned on a blind bend immediately at the end

10 of a long one mile straight which is subject only to the National Speed limit and a voluntary weight limit. The school has limited parking facilities and safe drop off points for children. In addition, the school has access to allotment facilities across the road that can be used as part of the childrens’ broader education. Whilst the school makes good use of this facility, it is always a logistical challenge getting the children across the road. The following photograph illustrates the long entry to the village:

School F

Fig 2: The road leading to the village has an entry point with 30 mile per hour signs (point F), a wooden gateway, the village name, ‘please drive carefully’ wording and a school sign, all in the same place. All of this signage is c30 meters from the blind bend that hides the Primary School immediately behind. The road surfacing in this area is in disrepair. The following pictures illustrate: Entry to the village approaching the school which is to the left, behind the bend:

11 Exiting the village towards the school which is to the right, around the bend:

Looking at the situation of Glapthorn more broadly, it is evident that many vehicles pass through the village as part of a short cut from Corby along the A427 to the A605 towards Peterborough. In addition, the village is used as a short cut from Corby to Oundle, with vehicles traveling along Main Street from points C to B on the map.

4.2 The Main Pedestrian Routes A closer look at the layout of the village illustrates the main routes that pedestrians take. The village and its surrounding area is very popular with dog walkers, hikers, cyclists and horse riders. In fact there is a horse riding school for children within the village. Fig 3:

Points 1, 2 and 3 in figure 3 above illustrate the location of the village ‘doggy poop bins’. Many dog walkers do a circular walk of the village, 12 essentially circumnavigating from points A through to C in figure 1. There are a number of areas along the route that have no pavements, with very limited pedestrian access. The following photograph shows the extent of pedestrian terrain at the Brook, another area that is on a blind bend and where the National Speed Limit of 60 mph is in force (point D in fig 1).

The following figure illustrates the route that walkers (including those with dogs) take (in Green), the areas where the National Speed limit of 60 mph applies (in red), the Footpaths & Brook positions (in purple): Fig 4:

13 5. Findings 5.1 Quantitative Study

5.1.1 Department of Transport Guidelines It its circular 01/2013, the Department for Transport set out the following key guidelines that the reader of this report should note:

• Speed limits should be evidence-led and self-explaining and seek to reinforce people's assessment of what is a safe speed to travel. They should encourage self-compliance. Speed limits should be seen by drivers as the maximum rather than a target speed. • Traffic authorities set local speed limits in situations where local needs and conditions suggest a speed limit which is lower than the national speed limit. • Traffic authorities are asked to keep their speed limits under review with changing circumstances, and to consider the introduction of more 20 mph limits and zones, over time, in urban areas and built-up village streets that are primarily residential, to ensure greater safety for pedestrians and cyclists. • Local speed limits are determined by traffic authorities having regard to guidance issued by the Department for Transport. This guidance applies to and supersedes that previously contained in DfT Circular 01/2006, which is now cancelled. • Speed limits are only one element of speed management. Local speed limits should not be set in isolation. They should be part of a package with other speed management measures including engineering and road geometry that respect the needs of all road users and raise the driver's awareness of their environment; education; driver information; training and publicity. • The underlying aim should be to achieve a 'safe' distribution of speeds. The key factors that should be taken into account in any decisions on local speed limits are:

14 • history of collisions; • road geometry and engineering; • road function; • Composition of road users (including existing and potential levels of vulnerable road users); • existing traffic speeds; and • road environment. • Mean speed and 85th percentile speed (the speed at or below which 85% of vehicles are traveling) are the most commonly used measures of actual traffic speed. Traffic authorities should continue to routinely collect and assess both, but mean speeds should be used as the basis for determining local speed limits. • For the majority of roads there is a consistent relationship between mean speed and 85th percentile speed. Where this is not the case, it will usually indicate that drivers have difficulty in deciding the appropriate speed for the road, suggesting that a better match between road design and speed limit is required. It may be necessary to consider additional measures to reduce the larger than normal difference between mean and 85th percentile speeds or to bring the speed distribution more in line with typical distributions. • It is government policy that a 30 mph speed limit should be the norm in villages. It may also be appropriate to consider 20 mph zones and limits in built-up village streets. • It may also be appropriate to consider 20 mph limits or zones in built- up village streets which are primarily residential in nature, or where pedestrian and cyclist movements are high. Such limits should not, however, be considered on roads with a strategic function or where the movement of motor vehicles is the primary function.

5.1.2 Quantitative Findings At the request of the Working Group, the Northamptonshire Police Safer Roads team carried out a data collection exercise between the 17

15 November and the 22 November 2015. This date range was considered appropriate because it was not during school holidays and the weather conditions did not present any extremes such that the typical speeds of vehicles would be unduly affected. Data collection boxes were installed in two locations within Glapthorn. One outside the school and one on the Southwick Road.

The Department for Transport’s guidelines suggest that the Mean speeds should be used as the basis for determining local speed limits. The data collected during the sample period around Mean speeds suggests that the average speed of all vehicle types for both locations reasonably reflect the posted speed limits (PSLs). The mean speed for traffic oncoming and receding the data box was 29mph and 31mph for Southwick Road and 31mph and 27mph for the School. This does not suggest that there is any need to review or change the enforceable speed limits that are in place in the areas where the data was collected.

However, it is also important to consider the distribution of vehicle speeds away from the Mean. The Department for Transport Guidelines suggests that the 85th percentile (the speed below which 85% of vehicles are traveling) should be considered. They state that there should be a consistent relationship between mean speed and 85th percentile speed.

The Association of Police Chief Officers (ACPO) suggest that the 85th percentile speed 'is the best indication of general speeds’. The data that was collected over the sample period shows the following1: For cars only: • 15% of cars traveling on Southwick Road (from Oundle to Southwick) were traveling over 38 mph (the 85th percentile) - the fastest being 55 mph

1 Note: The full quantitative details are set out in Appendix 1. 16 • 15% of cars traveling on Southwick Road (from Southwick to Oundle) were traveling at over 35 mph - the fastest being 56 mph • 15% of cars traveling past the school coming from Benefield were traveling at over 38 mph - the fastest being 58 mph • 15% of cars traveling past the school going out of Glapthorn were traveling at over 35 mph - the fastest being 56 mph. • 49% of all vehicles (at both data boxes) were exceeding the Posted Speed Limit • 23% of all vehicles on Southwick Road and 24% near the school exceeded the ACPO limit of 35mph.

The numbers fair better than those collected in 2010 on Southwick Road where 31% exceeded the ACPO limit, the 85th percentile was 42mph and the max was 63mph (for cars only). This suggests that the Vehicle Activation (VAS) signs have had an impact, but that there still remains a challenge in enforcing the speed limit for around a quarter of all drivers.

Based upon the data that has been collected, the Working Group do not propose to recommend a change to the legal speed limits that are in force. However, the Department of Transport does indicate that due consideration should be given to the composition of road users and as such the Working Group considers that alternative measures should be taken to help mitigate the significant residual risk. The local composition of road users includes those set out in section 4.2 above - horse riders, pedestrians, cyclists and dog walkers. The recommendations to improve the safety of these road users are set out in section 6 of this report.

5.2 Qualitative Study

As part of this study, views were sought from parents of children who attend the village school. Whilst the feedback from parents and from local residents is anecdotal, the Working Group considers them to be

17 important intelligence that needs to be considered when assessing the overall risks around road safety in the village.

Some of the key feedback is set out below:

• I have begun to dread the school run – the parking and road are both dangerous and difficult. • I always feel uncomfortable pulling out of school as oncoming traffic is often traveling too fast. • The near misses I have experienced are actually on the drive to school between Upper Benefield and school, i.e. speeding traffic and ungritted road in winter. • It is very hard to see around the bends coming out of school. • I couldn’t count how many times I have seen cars do an emergency break or excessive manoeuvre to get past other vehicles. • I think NCC have a moral obligation to make the school more visible to other motorists and put a ’20 zone’ • Traffic often comes through village fast (above speed limit) early in the morning, i.e. 8-8.15. Notice this when pulling out of staff car park after drop off (to Breakfast Club) and have to be careful. Cars also come up fast behind me (from Benefield direction) if I have just pulled out. • The cars all parked along the road which makes the negotiation of the bend into the village very dangerous and difficult. • The entrance to the staff car park is an accident waiting to happen with children running into school and the cars pulling out unable to see until their car is right on the pavement and very close to child running. • Most of the time I can’t see anything coming from both sides because hedges and parked cars. It’s very bad! • I am always shocked at how fast cars go past the school and also within the village.

18 • I have seen many close calls and one accident right outside the school gate when a lady drove straight into the back of a parked car, when it had snowed. • The other worry I have is people reversing up driveways to turn around. My child was nearly knocked down by one of them once. • As a parent since 2011, I have witnessed/heard about several ‘near misses’ – often toddlers running into the road or lorries/buses/vans speeding from Benefield and not being aware of parked vehicles on left hand side. • Last year, my child tripped and fell into the road. I grabbed him just before a car speeding in the school zone would have hit him. • Witnessed a lorry smashing a parked vehicle’s wing mirror off last term. • More than one incident of road rage directed at school parents, by people speeding through the village and behaving impatiently. On both occasions, inappropriate language was used in front of children. • Compared to lots of schools, Glapthorn has very little safety for children being dropped off and picked up. We often have to walk on the road to get past parked cars.

Much of the feedback from parents concerns the inadequacy of parking facilities at the school, making drop off and pick up of children very challenging. It is accepted that having numerous vehicles parked in the road at these times may actually slow vehicles down. However, there is a real risk that children walking in the road / across the road / outside the school may get hit by a vehicle. This risk is exacerbated by the fact that many parents have no option but to open their car doors on to the road side due to the embankment. There is clearly a critical issue around safety that neither NCC nor the School have been able to deal with. The fact that some vehicles happen to speed past the school presents incremental risk. Stopping speeding alone will not fully deal with the problem in this area of the village.

19 In addition to this important anecdotal feedback from parents, the Working Group has been made aware of the fact that school has access to allotment land across the road which is intended for use by the children. Staff have advised the Working Group that it is always logistically challenging to ensure the safety of children when crossing the road. The use of the allotment facility is important for the school and it is incumbent upon all authorities to ensure that children can access this facility safely.

Feedback from local residents around the village has been as follows:

• My dog was hit by a speeding car just outside my house. • Many local people are the worst culprits, speeding through the village. • Parked cars on the pavements force you to walk on the road. Its dangerous. • Living on Southwick Road can be like Silverstone at times. • There are so many people whose attitude is aggressive, tailgating, swerving, flashing lights - its not just Glapthorn, its an issue around the whole area. • It makes in very dangerous the way some cars park, either on a blind bend or on the pavement!

Appendix 3 includes letters from local residents setting out their concerns.

6. Options Considered The options that have been considered by the Working Group concern both Preventative and Enforcement measures.

20 6.1 Preventative Measures & Recommendations In respect of Preventative measures, the Working Group has considered the risks highlighted in this report under the following broad ‘Risk Mitigation’ headlines:

1. Safety of Children 2. Vehicle & passenger safety 3. Safety of other road users (pedestrians/cyclists/horses).

In respect of Preventative measures, the Working Group has considered the risks highlighted in this report and recommend the following options:

6. Re-surface village This may increase drivers awareness and NCC roads and remove consideration of their surroundings. The white lines central white lines can encourage faster speeds by drawing the drivers eye to the horizon, limiting peripheral vision of the immediate village surroundings.

This preventative measure will focus on the safety of all road users.

7. Change village This will help to increase awareness of the NCC entry gates to white entry to the village.

8. Put in place ad As set out in this report, the Working Group NCC advisory 20 mph do not endorse a wholesale reduction of the limit near the school enforceable speed limit in the village. However, by adopting the “20 is Plenty” mentality around the school, this will encourage drivers to slow down during school time(s).

6.2. Enforcement Measures In respect of Enforcement measures, the Working Group has considered the risks highlighted in this report and recommend the following options:

1. Increased use of This is a deterrent that has Northants mobile speed vans by proved successful over recent Police the Police months. The engagement from the Local Police in East Northamptonshire has been extremely helpful and we would request that they continue to serve the community in this way.

23 Risk Mitigator Rationale Responsibility

2. Speed Watch The Parish Council believes Village Campaign. that members of the community Community should take some responsibility for tackling the issues of speeding. The Northants Police Safer Roads team have already offered to facilitate a campaign for the village in 2016. However, 10 volunteers and 2 co-ordinators are required from the local community to make it happen. Details are set out in Appendix 4.

7. Conclusion and Recommendation

The conclusion of the Glapthorn Working Group is that there remains a challenge in reducing the speed of vehicles in and around the village. The safety of other road users continues to be an issue. The risks to children at the school is current and indisputable. This is not something that the Parish Councillors and the Local Community can deal with on there own. The Working Group has taken its time in preparing the evidence set out in this report, along with a series of recommended remedial measures.

We respectfully ask that the Northamptonshire County Council and the Northamptonshire Police Force carefully consider each of the recommendations that have been set out in this report, and provide a written response to each. The Working Group intend to provide access to this report to all local residents and to carry out a publicity campaign to increase awareness. Copies of the responses from NCC and the Police will be provided to each household. 24 APPENDIX 1 QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS

Va = The average speed V85 = The 85th percentile Vmax = The maximum speed

These are plotted against hours of the day over the reporting period.

Below the graph you will see some further data. Ignore the text on the left. We are just interested in the figures inside the grid.

The first column shows the vehicle type. The second column shows Count + (The ‘+’ is used to denote numbers of vehicles approaching the data recorder) and further along the ‘Count –‘ shows vehicles travelling away from the data box. Effectively the data box covers both sides of a road and measures both oncoming and receding traffic). Alongside these you will see the count of traffic per category along with a percentage representation and totals.

Further along you will see V15 + and V15 – which you can ignore as we don’t use this data. Further along still, you will see V85+ and V85- which show the 85th percentile per vehicle category (again oncoming and receding) and similarly for Vmax (max speed) and Va (average speed).

27 APPENDIX 2 Glapthorn Primary School Travel Plan 2015

GLAPTHORN C.E. PRIMARY SCHOOL TRAVEL PLAN

DFE No. 928/3031

6th October 2015

28 1.Introduction

Our Mission Statement

‘A small and happy Christian school at the heart of its community offering challenge and opportunity to all.’

1.1 School Information The school is a Church of England Voluntary Controlled School. It became a primary school in September 2015, keeping Year 5 pupils and will become a full primary in September 2016 when these pupils will become Year 6. There is currently a mobile classroom located in the playground for the additional year group and this will be replaced by a permanent classroom built onto the school hall, due for completion in September 2016. The normal school day is 9 a.m. to 3.15 p.m., Monday to Friday although doors open at 8.45 a.m. so this has the effect of staggering school traffic over a 15 minute, 8.45-9.00 a.m., period.

After school clubs are run to enrich the curriculum every day after school between 3.15 to 4.15 p.m. and this has a significant impact on reducing the traffic by staggering it at the end of the school day. Wraparound care is provided from 7.45 a.m. until 6 p.m. which also slightly reduces traffic at the beginning and end of the school day. The combination of these two at the maximum reduces traffic at 3.15 p.m. by 48%.

1.2 Pupil Information There are currently 75 pupils on roll (capacity 90), aged 4-10 years. If full to capacity post conversion to full primary with the addition of a single classroom and additional parking for teachers, there would be 105 pupils. At the end of Year Six, it is expected that most pupils will move onto Prince William School with some going to Kings School, Peterborough and some attending private schools and other local secondary schools.

Parents do not have access to the car park except for some weekend / evening events, for wraparound care and currently, daily access for two parents with children with physical disabilities at the beginning and end of the school day. There is a cycle rack for four bicycles. Staff parking is provided on site for approximately 8 cars. It is planned that this will increase to at least 11 by September 2016

There are 17 staff – 6 teachers, 7 classroom assistants plus 1 Access Community Support Worker, 1 Teacher Trainee, 1 School Administrator and 1 Cleaner-in-Charge. One member of staff lives in Glapthorn and walks to work. The majority of the others live in Oundle or outlying villages and drive to school. Two members of staff car share. 10 members of staff live more three miles from the school. Staff do variable hours so are not all on site at any one time.

1.3 Location The school is situated in the village of Glapthorn approximately 1 1/2 miles NNW of Oundle. The school backs on to fields and Short Wood, on Benefield Road leading out of the village Glapthorn is a village and civil parish in East Northamptonshire, England. At the time of the 2011 census, the parish's population was 271 people.

1.5 Local Transport links Buses Glapthorn village is served by the Nene & Welland Callconnect bus service. CallConnect is a unique bus service whose timetable is not fixed but responds to passenger requests. Routes are different each day depending on the bookings made by passengers. Journey requests can be made by telephone or online. The service is designed to improve transport links in the Oundle, Peterborough and Stamford areas including rural locations in South Lincolnshire, East Rutland, East Northamptonshire and rural communities close to Peterborough. Cycle Routes Glapthorn does not have any dedicated cycle routes. Train Services The nearest train station is Corby which is 8.7 miles from the school. 1.6 Existing Travel facilities The previous travel Plan funding was used to purchase bike stands, these are still in use. The school car park is available for parental use for children with disabilities at drop of and pick up times.

2. Travel and Transport Issues

Some of our children from within catchment usually either walk to school or travel by school taxi. This means approximately 12% of our pupils walk or travel by taxi to school (*See 3.1).

Glapthorn School is just under 2 miles north of the town of Oundle. There are pavements throughout Glapthorn and there is a pavement between Oundle and Glapthorn. There is no street lighting between Oundle and Glapthorn and limited street lighting in Glapthorn.

31 There are no pavements between Glapthorn and any of the surrounding villages, i.e. Benefield or Southwick. This means 89% of pupils usually travel to school by car as it is difficult for the majority of pupils to safely walk or cycle to school.

When pupils go to curriculum events during the school day, they travel by coach, minibus or by staff car unless it is within Glapthorn village in which case they walk. Our children with physical disabilities travel in the same way as the other children, except to Warm Water swimming in Kettering and specific Project Ability events, in which case they travel by a taxi adapted for use for people with disabilities.

The school buildings are not used by the community regularly. Parent surveys and other information indicate the following key issues: • Parking and manoeuvring outside the school • Speed of traffic outside the school (Jan 2015 – average 39 mph, fastest 60 mph) • Too far to walk • No pavements on 2 out of 3 roads leading into Glapthorn Through school campaigning and work by the Parish Council 2005-15, the following actions have taken place: • Additional ‘school’ traffic sign in place • Additional child designed speed signs in place • Additional road warning signs added re. school • Police mobile camera used on to track speeds on several occasions • Parish Council application for Speed warning sign and 20 mph zone - refused • Parking bay / tarmacked turning area added at bottom of farm track • Yellow zigzags recently repainted – Spring 2015

As part of the transition to a Primary School, there is a proposal that a single classroom is added to the existing building. There is currently a mobile classroom in the playground housing an extra year group and it is planned that this will be replaced by a permanent classroom built onto the end of the school hall for September 2016 to house a Y5/6 class.

In September 2015, nine Y5 pupils remained in the school which has meant one additional parent’s car outside school, as the other Y5 pupils all have younger siblings. In September 2016, this will become two additional year groups, i.e. Years 5 and 6 which would currently mean an increase of 18 pupils by September 2016, compared to September 2014 and an additional four cars (see table below). However, there is capacity for up to 30 pupils and if this matches the current intake (85% by car) this could lead to approximately 20 extra car journeys per day. Number of additional pupils Numbers without siblings lower down the school Sept 2015 9 Y5 pupils 2 pupils = 1 car (twins) Sept 2016 9 Y5 + 9 Y6 = 18 pupils 2 Y6 pupils + 4 Y5 pupils = 5 cars (twins)

The development will increase the current 8 No. parking spaces to 11 to accommodate the additional staff members.

32 TRAVEL SURVEY

These results are for 14th-18th September 2015 and reflect the average for the school (based on a Pupil Survey). Two families have children with disabilities that mean they have to drive (5% of pupils including siblings.)

Arrival at school

5% arrived early for Breakfast Club (by car). 95% of pupils arrived between 8.45am-9.00am. 85% came by car, 3% car shared, 8% walked, cycled or scooted, 4% came by NCC taxi

Departure from school Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Left at 3.15 p.m. 52% 71% 77% 87% 77% Left at 4.15 p.m. or later 48% 29% 23% 13% 23% Children remain until 4.15 p.m. for Extra-Curricular Clubs or up until 6 p.m. for Wraparound Care. 88% went by car, 8% walked, cycled or scooted, 4% went by NCC taxi. Travel plan information is gained from and shared with stakeholders through: Parent, pupil and staff surveys (September 2015) Newsletters to parents fortnightly #

3.1 Pupil Survey (See attachment 1 for an example)

A survey was carried out in school in September 2015 with all pupils about how they normally travelled to school and how they would prefer to travel to school. Children were asked how they normally travelled to school and how they would prefer to. The results are shown below: Travel to school Would like to travel to school Foot 4% 10% Bike 4% 44% Car 85% 25% Car Share 3% 16% Bus or taxi 0% 3% Other 4% 7%

3.2 Parents Survey (See attachment 2 for an example)

A survey on travel to school was sent out to 53 families in May 2015, 37 responses were received (70%), not all questions were answered by all responders. The majority of parents live more than 3 miles from school.

Modes of Travel

The travel survey asked parents to update modes of travel. Information received is shown below.

33 Preferred mode of transport to school

Parents were asked what their preferred mode of transport to school would be.

Percentage On foot 17% By car 50% Car Share 15% By Bicycle 15% Taxi/bus 4% We asked parents if suitable parking was available, would they be prepared to park a short distance away from the school and walk the rest of the way. The responses are outlined below Percentage Yes 59% No 3% Sometimes 30% Not practical 8%

3.3 Review of staff (See attachment 3 for an example)

Glapthorn Primary has 17 staff. A staff survey was undertaken 14th-21st September 2015. 12 responses were received (71%). Below is the breakdown of main modes of travel into work.

Mode of transport Walk 8% Car 75% Car Share 17% Usually, all staff who drive to school park in the school car park.

Distance travelled to school Percentage < 1 mile 8% 1 – 2 miles 16% 2– 3 miles 8% >3 miles 67%

3.5 Visitors in School There are in general approximately 20 visitors a week, these are scheduled around times when parents will not be dropping off and picking up to minimise traffic and also enable visitors to park in the school car park. It is not envisaged that an increase in pupil number would increase the number of visitors to site significantly.

35 Monitoring and Review Next survey will be conducted in September 2016 for parents and pupils - Person responsible: K. Towns

This school travel plan will be presented to the Full Governing Body on 22nd September 2015 and shared with teaching staff on 23rd September 2015. Elements of the travel plan will also be shared with parents through the school’s fortnightly newsletter in the Autumn Term 2015.

The plan will be monitored termly by the Headteacher and the Governing Body Finance and Premises Committee. A full review on this plan will take place in September 2016, including an annual travel survey of pupils, staff and parents following the completion of the future site expansion plans and this will be reported to the Full Governing Body in September 2016 (Person responsible – K. Towns).

The school travel plan will consider pupil travel needs arising from new developments in education and transport provision and will be revised as necessary through the 2015-16 year to take account of these.

37 38 39 40 41 42 APPENDIX 4 Speed Watch Campaign.

Community Speed Watch revised offer – 2016

Based on the feedback from the Community Speed Watch survey conducted in August 2015, it’s been decided that changes need to be implemented to the scheme.

From Spring 2016 Community Speed Watch will consist of the following

Change to the pledge requirement – current 500 or 20% or the electoral roll register signatures will not be required if one of the following requirements can be met:

- Support of the Parish Council/ Town Council/ Ward

- Support of a local “Sponsor”. The idea of sponsors is that they represent the wider community, so they can be local schools, large businesses or community groups who are in support of the scheme. Sponsors won’t be required to make any financial contribuQon to the scheme, as the scheme will remain cost free. We will only require the sponsor to make a pledge on behalf of the community they represent.

Change to training provisions – 6 sessions will be scheduled across the year. Currently, training takes place at the weekends, in Northampton. We are willing to run sessions in various locaQons in the county and be flexible on days (e.g. a week day) if the following requirements can be met by the group (groups are formed geographically):

- Community can provide a suitable venue, with big enough room, access to PowerPoint faciliQes and road where pracQcal training (use of the speed gun) can be carried out. Force will not be able to cover the cost of venues

- The enQre group must be in agreement about wanQng the training in their area. Where individuals can’t aWend the session, they can sQll aWend any other training sessions within the county.

- A minimum of 30 volunteers will aWend

- It is up to coordinators within the group to agree venue/ Qme and ensure there are enough volunteers

- Groups must inform the Safer Roads Scheme coordinator by 31st January 2016 if they wish to have a session in their locality, and make all the necessary arrangements

Support will be given where possible.

Weekend sessions in Northampton will be run otherwise.

Introduc?on of “roaming volunteers”- a team of “roaming volunteers” (working Qtle) will be introduced to support all CSW schemes with ad-hoc acQviQes. Those volunteers

43 will be working in groups of 3, aWending localiQes where there is a known issue, or where the exisQng scheme requires support. They will be working throughout the year to ensure beWer coverage of speed watch acQviQes. Where possible, they will be accompanied by an Officer to support them with enforcement.

Police support – every month we will release 4 dates when Officers are available to support the Speed Watch acQviQes with their presence and direct, on the spot enforcement. Those dates will be allocated on a first come, first served basis, or where there is a known issue.

Warning leDer – warning leWer will be changed to be more educaQonal and to influence driver’s behaviour long term. Repeated offenders (3 detecQons) will receive a visit from Northants Traffic Police Officers

Communica?on – results will be sent to all coordinators following the acQvity. This will be done approx. 2 week aaer the acQvity had ended to allow for data collecQon and processing. InformaQon sent will be: data box informaQon (gathered before and aaer the acQvity), number of warning leWers sent and number of vehicles stopped/ cauQoned (where appropriate)

Recruitment of new volunteers – CSW would like to recruit volunteers 16 years old +. Links will be made with schools and higher educaQon establishments to encourage young people to volunteer in their local area. ExisQng volunteers are also asked to speak to anyone they feel would make a suitable volunteer.

What is Community Speed Watch?

Community Speed Watch initiative is an operation to target those motorists committing the four most common offences, which can contribute to serious injury or deaths on our roads: speeding, mobile phone usage, not wearing a seatbelt and drink driving. Community Speed Watch enables local people to become actively involved in helping to slow down traffic in 30mph zones within their community. Members of the community are trained in the use of hand-held speed monitoring devices to track the speed of motorists in their parish. Details of any speeding car is recorded on a data sheet. These sheets are processed by the Safer Roads Team and warning letters are sent to the drivers. Speeding drivers can receive up to two warning letters but if they are recorded as speeding for a third time, they will not receive a third one. The Police take further action.

Each community involved in Speed Watch will receive a full package of services, as shown below, as part of a rolling programme during the year, as well as regular support from their local Safer Community Team: •Full training to carry out Speed Watch including how to use the calibrated device and recording the required information for the data sheets.

44 •Use of Precision equipment (speed gun) - same equipment as used by the Police and is calibrated to the highest level. Used to identify vehicles exceeding the speed limit and can be used on a tripod or hand held. Villages receive the device for 3 weeks over a 6 week period. Those drivers identified as speeding have a Police warning letter(s) generated. •V.A.S. (Vehicle Activated Sign) – an interactive device placed out by the Police (owned by NCC) to identify excess speed offences. This is used for warning purposes only. As with the S.I.D, villages can have access to this several times during the year. •Parish Speed Boards x 10 – these are issued to each village co-ordinator, with suggested dates to place on display at the roadside by the Police. •S.I.D (Speed Indication Device) - operated by the County Council. An interactive radar device placed at the roadside, highlighting speeding/mobile phone use/seat belt offences. Available before or after the village has access to the speed device. •Data Site monitoring – a grey box placed out for a week before and a week after each village has used the calibration device. Works 24 hours a day for the week, gives extremely accurate figures on volume of traffic/speeds/direction of travel/types of vehicle. It is not a camera and does not collect registration numbers. •Processing of data sheets from the communities and the issuing of warning letters to any driver identified as speeding as part of the Speed Watch programme, administration of all letters and follow up where necessary and regular updates to communities on the number of warning letters issued. •Ongoing support from local Safer Community Teams and additional support from ‘Safer Roads Team’ Speed Camera Vans, particularly working with information collated through Speed Watch from the calibration device

Pledge of Support for the project

Any village or community that wishes to take part in Community Speed Watch needs to show its support for the project. If you would like to show your support, please sign the pledge form below. As part of Speed Watch, your Parish Council will be loaned a hand held speed camera to undertake its own traffic monitoring with the assistance of volunteers and the police.
