👮‍♂️ Speed Enforcement on The Avenue 👮‍♀️

At yesterday`s meeting of the Town Council, Wiltshire Police`s Neighbourhood Policing Team reported the outcome of two speed enforcement sessions undertaken on The Avenue in August.

🚔 During the sessions, 41 vehicles were recorded exceeding the posted 30mph speed limit, with a maximum speed recorded at 52mph.
👨‍⚖️ 29 drivers were offered a speed awareness course, 10 were issued a Fixed Penalty Notice and three points on their licence. 2 drivers were referred to court.

Wilton Town Council, with our volunteers, look after Speed Indicator Devices in our town. These devices record speeds and traffic volumes, and we can then use this data to help influence roads to be targeted for speed enforcement or additional traffic calming measures.

We have also requested, based on resident feedback, that Wiltshire Police look into the feasibility of undertaking future speed enforcement sessions on Shaftesbury Rd.

🥀 Maintenance of Our Wildflower Areas 🥀

Over the coming week, our grounds contractor will be undertaking seasonal maintenance of the wildflower walk at Minster Street and the wildflower area at Castle Meadow.

This will involve cutting back the current vegetation and collecting the cuttings.

Every Autumn, the wildflower areas are cut back for several reasons:
🌱 Cutting the areas back allows for any remaining seeds to be deposited back onto the soil, helping replenish the seedbank.
🌾 Wildflowers thrive in poorer nutrient soils, so cutting the area and removing the cuttings helps to deplete the soil fertility, preventing grasses taking over the area.
⛅ It allows for the ground canopy to be opened up to sunlight and autumn rains, helping seeds germinate and establish stronger roots ahead of the winter frosts.
🎋 Collecting the cuttings also helps prevent a build up of plant "thatch" on the ground, which can rot and trap excess damp.
