30mph Speed Limit Throughout Beech

At long last as a result of persistent lobbying from the Parish Council, a uniform 30mph speed limit has been introduced throughout the village. Whilst some issues remain such as the apparent lack of repeater signage on the Medstead Road section alongside the Forestry Commission land due to street lighting regulations, it is now up to residents to lead the way and observe the new limit themselves.
