Dorset Rural Roads Case Studies

The Traffic and Rural Settlements Study by Hamilton-Baillie Associates  - report builds on a series of events organised by the Dorset AONB earlier this year.

Ben Hamilton-Baillie worked with the Dorset AONB and two parishes, Maiden Newton and South Perrott , to explore and develop a range of ideas to help communities located on busy roads to improve the balance between village life and traffic movement.

Ben’s report on this work is available here below, and the principles of the work are relevant to any of our Dorset villages.

Following on from this initial work will be a “toolkit” to help other communities follow the process for themselves. The Toolkit will be downloadable from this site early in 2010.
