Baydon's physical traffic
calming project - News item (last updated 25th July)
Further work has now
taken place this week on the installation of the street lighting
and the chicane bollards and it is hoped the road works
project will be completed soon
The physical
traffic calming project, that will slow down speeding traffic as
it enters the village on Ermin Street from the east and
passes the playground area, as well as slowing vehicles
travelling in the other direction started a couple of
months ago. This has been the
result of a lot of hard work over a number of years by
the Parish Council, the Traffic Calming Working Group
and the Community SpeedWatch (CSW) Team.

Surprise party arranged on Sunday 29th
June 2014 in Mrs Dorothy Newman’s honour
Dorothy has been the organist at
St. Nicholas Church Baydon since 1939. She had been
taught by the vicar’s wife and at the age of 14 was
suddenly told as she arrived one morning for the
service, that it was her turn to play – no time for
nerves! Rev. Simon Weedon welcomed everyone and
presented a certificate celebrating Dorothy’s 75 years
of service (including that morning’s service!).

A huge thank you to everyone who
supported the School and Church Fete
A huge thank you to
everyone who supported the School and Church Fete on
Saturday. I would particularly like to thank those
people who helped before, during and after the Fete to
make it such an enjoyable event. The village Fete was
very well attended, probably helped by the lovely warm
sunny weather. Everyone had a great time and the total
funds raised is now over £2,600. Well done to you all -
