Other suggestions were received as follows:
Impose parking restrictions on parents and staff at Beckwithshaw CPC - including improvements to access to the Village Hall car park.
A higher police presence in the village with a more rigorous approach to the application of existing regulations (including the use of speed cameras).
Establish a mini-roundabout next to the Smiths Arms.
Change/improve existing signage:
· Move the 30mph sign so that it is positioned before the Cricket Club (ie coming from Penny Pot).
· Move the 30mph sign on Shaw Lane so that it is positioned before the bend at Beckwith Lodge.
· Improve signage on Otley Road (from the direction of Harrogate).
Impose a 40 or 50mph limit on the B6161 before the junction with Norwood Lane.
Residents living near to the junction of Shaw Lane and the B6161 commented that the introduction of a mini-roundabout would be dangerous in view of the high level of traffic (and particularly haulage and other heavy vehicles).
