During recent speed checking sessions, 174 vehicles have been recorded travelling at 38 mph and above, 39 on New Platt Lane, 106 on Main Road and 29 on Station Road. The highest speed recorded was 55 mph. Many of these motorists will have received warning letters from the police. The Parish Council is considering what further measures can be taken to ensure greater safety on the Village Roads and will shortly be meeting with the Congleton Community Action Team to discuss possibilities.

Copies of all planning applications for Goostrey are kept on file in the Council Office at the Village Hall and are available for inspection at any reasonable time by arrangement with the Parish Clerk.

The Parish Council would like to point out that the gateway at the entrance to the Play Area is not intended as a parking spot. It would be much safer if children leaving the grounds could be clearly seen by approaching motorists and not stepping out from behind parked vehicles.

A reminder that residents are welcome to attend Parish Council and Committee Meetings. Forthcoming dates are:

Parish Council	10th October at 7.30 in the Village Hall lounge
Village Hall Management Committee	1st November at 7.30 in the Village Hall Committee Room
Amenities Committee	7th November at 7.30 in the Village Hall Committee Room
