Construct a crossing, not a layby
This relates particularly to the speed of vehicles using the road.
I understand the police plan to circularise a road sign at certain road junctions to remind motorists that Felpham is a village with a 30mph speed limit.

You probably know of the plan under consultation to create a layby in Summerley Lane, aiming to improve the traffic flow in the lane at a cost of 60,000.
The congestion occurs mainly at weekends when King George V field is in full action. That is on two days out of seven.
Surely it would be to a much greater advantage, including safety to pedestrians, to erect permanent reminder signs about speed limits, and a pedestrian crossing near the church, than a layby which would be a very uncertain blessing at 60,000?
