Village gates have been installed on the entrance to Thorpe Waterville from Achurch. The gates are a highly visible way of alerting motorists that they are entering a residential area and it is hoped that the installation will prompt drivers to slow down. The gates have been funded by a grant from the Northamptonshire Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner's (PFCC) Grant Scheme.
Gates have also been installed at the Thorpe side of Achurch with a further set in the pipeline for installation on the Lilford side in the next few weeks. This project has been made possible with further funding from the Northamptonshire Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner's (PFCC) Grant Scheme, and from the Unitary Ward Councillors Members Empowerment Fund.
