Reducing the Speed Limits on the A148 |
There are plans to reduce the speed limit on the A148 from 60mph to 50 mph on
the way in and out of the village. The 30 mph limit in the village will remain
unchanged. This will not happen immediately and is subject to the usual
consultation processes but is part of the ongoing collaborative work by
councillors. This hopefully is a step in the right direction in areas with a
poor accident record. |

Bodham Churchyard Conservation Area - Late Spring - Summer 2026 |
The conservation area in the churchyard is shimmering with bluebells at the
moment and dotted with star-like stitchhwort flowers. Well worth a visit! Now
that the plants are beginning to flower and butterflies and other insects
appearing we are pausing tasks for the volunteers. The next major activity will
be in July when the plants are in the conservation area are cut down and
everything raked off. We ‘ll be hoping for as many helpers as we can get! We’ll
probably have several sessions and will advertise the dates and times. Further

In the Nineties……… |
At the recent Bodham Playing Field Annual General Meeting it was mentioned by
one 90 year old attendee that a number of our residents had now reached the‘90
Years Old’ milestone. Well done.
We wish them the best of health. And if they need our help in any way please
get in touch. In a future edition of the Bodham Village News the editor would
like to run a piece about them, if they are willing for us to find out a little
more about them.
For example, how long have they lived in the Village, a favourite village
memory or a community achievement they have helped with. There will be more. The
editor is still thinking! So if you read this and are willing to take part
please let the editor know. Following recent research, we think the number is
‘7’ people that are 90 or greater. |
