Updated
Why this page exists: it was put together quickly by a local resident to give everyone one place to check what's happening. The works have several phases, the plan has changed more than once, and there has been a lot of concern and confusion. It may contain mistakes, so if this page and the council's differ, go by the council's, and if you spot something wrong, please say so in the community Facebook group.
How it updates: twice a day, at 7am and 3pm, from the council's scheme page and Highways email bulletins. Residents' reports from the Facebook group are added without names or anything that identifies who posted, and are clearly marked.
What the scheme delivers: priority build-outs near St James' Church and The Elms, a 20mph limit through the village, a new footpath to the Mill Lane bus stop, and new street lighting.
