Appendix A –Briefing notes
Community Speedwatch
SIDs – All 4 SIDs were in operation throughout May.
The data recorded at Bramley Corner remains concerning. A speed of 90mph was recorded on the 3rd May at 13:27.
At the request of a resident a SID was set up in Cufaude Lane to provided data in the with the resident’s case to have the Lane restricted to 30mph as it meets the criteria for a 30mph zone. The data has been passed to the resident and included in this report.
Recent Local SpeedWatch Activity – 4 manned Deployments were undertaken during May. Police were in attendance during 2 of the deployments. A total of 9 vehicles were reported to the Police from the 301vehicles checked by Bramley SpeedWatch – hit rate 3%. Top speed recorded 37 mph.
During Police checks the Police issued a total of 11 Intention to Prosecute Notices to offending drivers, a top speed of 42mph was recorded by the police.
Equipment:
Camera: AutoSpeedWatch – No issues, the camera continues to work well.
I have done some trending of the camera data and manned deployment data at the Village Hall, (see below). The first graph shows the percentage of vehicles exceeding 35mph. The dotted line = trend. The second graph gives the total confirmed hits per month, the trend is declining.
Although the graphs show declining speeds this may not necessarryily be down to driver behaviour as many factors may be contributing to the decline, eg: increased traffic flow, road works on the street.
The camera warning sign on The Street was removed by the builders at Stocks Farm. I have requested the builder that the sign be replaced ASAP. I have informed Hampshire Highways of it’s removal and they have written to the builder requesting that it be put back up. To date the builder has not replaced it. Can the PC please take this up directly. June update: still no sign.
Note: Declining numbers in winter months due to reduced daylight hours. Overall a slight decline.
PCC Grant – In agreement with the PC the grant request submitted to the PCC, which had been approved, has been declined by SpeedWatch and the PC due to the extremely onerous conditions attached to the contract by the PCC. SpeedWatch felt that the conditions to be both onerous/unbounded and potentially could incur liabilities far exceeding the grant value.
Hampshire Police Roads Policing Inspectors and Safety Camera Van Team pilot scheme – This scheme is now in progress; Bramley had its first Police attendance at a manned Deployment on 1st May and a seconded deployment on 31st May, in all the Police issued 11 ItPN (Intention to Prosecute Notices). These were the first in a series of Police visits to undertake roadside monitoring in Bramley and is part of the Hampshire Police Safer Roads Initiative. The Police recorded multiple vehicles speeding and will be processing the offences through their normal channels.

Hampshire County Council unveils plan for 17,000 community electric vehicle charging points
Hampshire County Council has announced plans for a major expansion of electric vehicle charging across the county.
Around 17,000 new community EV charging sockets are planned, focused particularly on areas where residents do not have access to off-street parking, such as a driveway or garage.
That matters because, for many people, the biggest barrier to switching to an electric vehicle is not the vehicle itself — it is having somewhere practical and reliable to charge it.
The scheme is being supported by £6.662 million of Government funding, which has helped unlock up to £90 million of private investment from charge point operator Believ. Importantly, this means the programme can be delivered at no cost to Hampshire County Council.
Installations are expected to begin later this year, with around 500 charge points planned in the first year.
Residents are also being asked to suggest locations where charge points would be useful, so the rollout can be targeted where demand and need are greatest.
This is a practical step towards making EV charging more accessible across Hampshire, particularly for those who cannot charge at home.

The Hampshire and the Solent Combined County Authority has now been formally established.
This is an important milestone for our region and, if we get it right, devolution can bring real benefits for residents across Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight.
For too long, too many decisions about transport, skills, housing, investment, public safety, health and economic growth have been taken too far away from the communities they affect. Devolution should mean more decisions being made locally, by people who understand the needs, challenges and opportunities of our area.
The new Combined County Authority gives us the opportunity to work together across council boundaries, attract investment, improve infrastructure, support better skills and employment opportunities, and strengthen long-term economic growth.
But it must also be about fairness.
The benefits of devolution cannot simply flow to the places that are already doing well. The new Authority must have a clear focus on the most deprived communities across Hampshire and the Solent — including those areas where residents face poorer health outcomes, lower skills levels, weaker transport links, fewer opportunities and greater barriers to employment.
Growth matters, but it must be growth that reaches people and places that have too often been left behind.
That means using the new powers and funding to improve opportunity, support regeneration, tackle inequality, strengthen local transport, and help people access the skills and jobs they need to build better futures.
Hampshire has enormous strengths — strong businesses, world-class universities, major ports, rural communities, market towns, cities, coastline and countryside. Devolution gives us the chance to bring those strengths together more effectively.
Now the formal structure is in place, the real work begins: making sure this new Authority delivers practical, visible and lasting benefits for residents, businesses and communities across the whole region.
The election results were significant not simply because of who won and lost, but because of what they tell us about public sentiment. Large numbers of residents chose to vote for parties and candidates who, until now, have not featured significantly in the political make-up of Hampshire County Council. That reality deserves recognition and respect.
Too often in politics, it is tempting to dismiss unfamiliar voices or assume that electoral shifts are temporary irritations to be endured. That would be a mistake.
Behind every vote cast is a resident expressing a view about the future of their community, the quality of public services, their frustrations, their hopes, or simply a desire for something different. Whether those votes were cast enthusiastically in support of particular candidates or parties, or tactically to prevent others from winning, they matter equally. The democratic message is no less valid because it is complicated.
Just as importantly, we should welcome the fact that more people chose to participate. Across Hampshire, turnout rose in many areas. In Calleva Division, turnout reached 45 per cent — up on 2021. In an era where disengagement from politics is often lamented, greater participation should be celebrated. Democracy is stronger when more people take part, even when the results challenge established assumptions or create uncomfortable conversations.
The task now must be collegiate and collaborative governance.
No single political tradition has a monopoly on wisdom, particularly in a council chamber that now reflects a much broader range of political views. Those newly elected members, whatever party they represent, have been sent to Winchester by residents who expect them to be heard. Their perspectives should not simply be tolerated; they should be actively engaged with. Respectful disagreement is part of healthy democracy, but so too is finding common ground.
And Hampshire faces challenges too significant for political trench warfare.
The pressures on adult social care and services for vulnerable children continue to grow, placing enormous demands on council finances. We must grasp the opportunities presented by the emerging combined authority arrangements while ensuring Hampshire’s voice is heard strongly in regional decision-making. We face a very difficult financial outlook, with rising demand and limited resources requiring difficult decisions in the years ahead.
Above all, there is the profound, long-term question of Local Government Reorganisation. The structures we put in place now will shape how local services are delivered, communities represented and public money spent for decades to come.
Getting this wrong would have consequences far beyond any one political administration.
The election is over. The work now begins. Hampshire’s residents expect maturity, cooperation and seriousness of purpose. They deserve nothing less.
Boost for passengers as Hampshire County Council confirms funding for 100+ bus shelter upgrades
Good news for bus passengers across rural Hampshire.
Hampshire County Council has confirmed more than £554,000 of funding to help parish councils improve local bus shelters, with 41 parish councils awarded grants to refurbish or replace 137 shelters across the county.
This funding comes through Hampshire’s Bus Service Improvement Plan, supported by Government bus grant funding. It will help with practical improvements such as replacing ageing shelters, upgrading structures, and adding features such as better seating and lighting.
These may seem like small improvements, but they matter. Clean, safe and welcoming shelters help make buses a more realistic and attractive option for everyday journeys — particularly in rural communities where public transport links are so important.
This sits alongside wider work to improve bus services in Hampshire, including better stops and interchanges, real-time passenger information, bus priority measures, community transport support and fare initiatives.
Bus use in Hampshire is moving in the right direction, with 26.6 million journeys made in 2024/25 — up 1.7 million on the previous year. There is still much more to do, but investment like this is part of making public transport more reliable, accessible and attractive for residents.
Support for Hampshire care leavers praised in latest Ofsted Report
We are really pleased to share some positive news about Hampshire’s support for young people leaving care.
Following a recent inspection, Ofsted has praised Hampshire County Council for providing “high-quality, responsive support” to care leavers, recognising the strong and trusted relationships built between young people and their Personal Advisers, and the tailored help available as they move into adulthood.
Leaving care can be one of the most challenging periods in a young person’s life. Support with housing, education, employment, wellbeing and independence can make an enormous difference, and it is encouraging to see inspectors recognise the dedication of the staff working alongside some of Hampshire’s most vulnerable young people. Ofsted particularly highlighted the way young people’s voices and aspirations help shape the support they receive.
A huge thank you to everyone across Hampshire Children’s Services and our partners who work so hard to support care leavers to build stable, independent and fulfilling lives. This is important work, often carried out quietly and away from the spotlight, but it changes lives.
