The consultation period closed on the 25th July 2025.

87% of residents who responded support this project, so Cllr Maughan has begun the paperwork for the Community Funded Initiative (CFI) with HCC. It will take some time for draft designs to be received, but once they are with us, we will share them with you. 

This is just the beginning of the project - there are lots of things included on this CFI as otherwise it will cost £850 each time we want HCC to look at something. So, it makes sense to put it all in and then decide individually on each item when the draft plans are ready. Some of these items are from residents' responses and that is why they are included in the project.

Included in this CFI project:

• Boundary signage including repositioning to boundary.
• Village Entrances

• Central Unique Village sign at crossroads - suggested with yew tree and 'Farringdon Village'. We need HCC permission etc for this - even if we have this made privately - Possibly utilising the skills of our village blacksmith and woodcarver and Farringdon artist.

• Plant troughs (we need highways permission for these if we were to use as a means of 'softening' the road side, e.g. next to MUGA layby A32)

• Double white lines from corner of Streethouse Farm to 40mph sign (numerous near misses due to overtaking and numerous emails with FIC pleading for this.

• Painted on road pedestrian walkway (like Beech) from just after Chase View to Jordans (numerous requests about walking concerns on  Shirnall Hill).
