The parish of Middleton-on-Sea has seen a considerable increase in speeding traffic through the village. With the removal of PCSO'S and the complete lack of any police presence the situation has got worse and unless improvements are made it is highly likely that residents will suffer injury. The Parish Council receive many complaints about speeding and dangerous parking (on or near pedestrian crossings) and have come up with two projects. The first project is to install village gateways at three locations in the village to inform drivers of the speed limit. It has also formed the Middleton Community Speed Watch Group which is made up of volunteers who will patrol the village with speed guns and report speeding motorists to the police for them to consider what action to take. This will not resolve the problem entirely but it is hoped it will reduce the problem to a more manageable level.
What we'll deliver:
- Enhance the appearance of the village
- Set up suitable traffic calming areas in village
Why it's a great idea:
The project will show a commitment to reducing the level of speeding vehicles in the parish. The village has a high number of elderly people who are sometimes afraid to go out for fear of speeding vehicles, hopefully these fears can be removed. It will also show that with village gateways and a commitment from volunteers to the Community Speed Watch what changes can happen and this idea be taken up by other areas at risk.
Steps to get it done:
- Purchase and Install Village Gateways and monitor reduction in speeding
- Monitor and record number of motoristes excedding speed limit
- Record number of prosecutions/warning made by POlice following Community Speed Watch
Location Bognor Regis

About the Project Creator
Middlerton-on-Sea Parish Council is a civil local authority and is the first tier of local government. THere are over 9,000 parish and town councils in England and over 16 million people live in communities serbed by these local councils. Middleton-on-Sea Parish Council has 12 parish councillors and has one of the lowest parish precepts in the area so that the residents do not see there council tax bills increasing due to the parish spending their money without recourse to the community.
The Parish Council has a number of powers some of which have been set up in charities and appoints Trustees to administer these bcharities from local residents and parish councillors. Parisdh Councillors are elected every 4 years in the past many of these elections have been uncontested meaning that only 12 or less gave thewir nominations in to become parish councillors, in the last parish council elections held in May 2019 there were 18 nominations and an election was held. Nine former parish councillors were re-elected with three new councillors being elected. The election of new councillors will bring new ideas and assist the parish council to look forward. Councillors can vote to receive a basic allowance which is around 10% of what a District Councillor would receive (around £550) but since 2003 Councillors have ahgreed not to take this allowance and this will continue for the next 4 years.
