80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day
As we mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, we do so with deep gratitude and solemn reflection. Today, we honour the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering spirit of those who fought for our freedom during the Second World War. Their legacy lives on in the peace we enjoy and the democratic values we uphold. We remember not only the servicemen and women who gave so much, but also the families, communities, and volunteers who supported them on the home front with strength and resilience.
Traffic flow in the village
Beaulieu Parish Council has been monitoring the speed of traffic passing through the village. With NFDC's help we installed monitors over 3 one week periods in 2024 covering the higher risk areas of the High St and also Palace Lane hill where cars enter the village from, and leave the village towards, Hilltop. Whilst there are some instances of speeding, these are better than the national average of speeding in a 30MPH area. Whilst the council's conclusion, based on this work, is that the 30 mph speed limit is effective, monitoring road safety will continue to be a key aspect of the council's work.
