Speeding and road safety problems in
Baydon
We now have the results of the recent road speed review (metrocount)
that was undertaken by Wiltshire Road Safety Unit during the first week
of May. The results are shocking with 78% of the vehicles travelling
along Ermin Street over the 30mph speed limit (was 57% for Aldbourne
Road) and about half of all vehicles on Ermin Street were at such a
speed that they would have been prosecuted if caught. Please click on
the road names to see the metrocount results :-
Ermin Street and
Aldbourne Road
We are currently in discussions with the Road Safety Unit, Wiltshire
Police and Wiltshire Council as to what actions to take next

The Flying Scotsman - London to
Edinburgh Trial by Vintage Car Passes Through Baydon
The London to Edinburgh Trial by Vintage Car has a terrific line-up
of cars about 53 veteran, vintage and classic cars in all
The cars departed from Brooklands on 27th March, and drive through the
Chilterns, the Cotswolds, the Derbyshire Peak District, the Yorkshire
Moors, and into the Scottish Borders. A scenic route up the spine of
rural England and into remote Scottish moors making for a challenging
drive in a pre-war car
There was quite a turn out in Baydon, what with children coming out from
the school and customers from the Red Lion and the Shop, we were all
well represented as the cars drove through the village from around 3 to
4 o'clock
The noise and smell of burning oil was just great. There was a close
shave as old cars overtook parked cars outside the shop as modern cars
tried to come through at the same time! Three abreast outside the shop
is a tight squeeze!
A great event and hopefully we will have more of these events in the
future.

photos taken as the cars drove through Baydon (suggested news item

Car Crash Outside Baydon School - How
Serious Would This Have Been Just 15 Minutes Later
At 3pm on Thursday 24th July there was a
serious car accident right outside Baydon primary School. It appears
that a black Land Rover coming from the East of Baydon hit a parked car
just outside the school and sent the parked car a long distance across
the road and onto the pavement right outside the school. Had the
accident happened just 15 minutes later there would have been many
pupils and parents on that area of pavement just outside the main school
gate
Both Headmaster Peter Chambers and Baydon
Parish Councillor Tony Prior were on the scene shortly afterwards and
helped control events, with a fire engine, an ambulance, a paramedic
support car, and two police cars on the scene soon after the accident
There have been many concerns re the
speed of the traffic through the village, the need for improved road
safety initiatives, etc and today served as a horrible reminder of this,
and fortunately much due to the timing than anything else no one was seriously hurt in the accident
Please click below to see photos that I
(Mark Austen) took shortly after the accident as I was going to the
