The road through the village has been subject to more damage of late than it can realistically cope with.
The damage caused by GigaClear operations last year, the wetter that usual summer and winter, the heavy traffic and machines delivering and taking away of materials and equipment to Briar Leaze developments, a recent return of the GigaClear contractors and followed by surface repairs on the A3102 sending a lot of traffic through the village reducing it the a standard not seen since the road was made up a hundred years ago.
There are a number within the village who meet the government criteria as being "At risk" from Covid 19, either through age or other longstanding medical condition.
Please be assured, you are not alone!
For as long as it takes, we have a team of volunteers, split into three groups who are here to ensure your needs can be met with:-

Speeding traffic is still a concern to most Compton Bassett Villagers, particularly due to the increase in the number of heavy goods vehicles to and from the Briar Leaze development over the past months.
In recent months the speed is just one aspect of the barrage of damage being inflicted on our road It started with the verges being damaged by the digging of the trench for the fibre optic installation. Next was the triple whammy of the soft back-fill of the trench, plus the very heavy rain making that backfill little more than a swamp. The heavy goods vehicles delivering and collecting to Briar Leaze and dropping off the edge of the road into the ditches as they try and negotiate the poor road surface. More recently the A3102 repairs causing road closures with the only realistic diversions seeming to be through the village with more HGV movements through an already damaged road surface.
I have been asked to remind you that now would be a good time to plant them in your place of choice. By way of suggestion the picture above is how one resident has chosen to plant their seeds on the bank outside their house.
