You will notice that on the approach to many villages there are gateways and signs, some with planting that makes the entrance into a village more noticeable and attractive. As an improvement measure Tilsworth Parish Council would like to see this at the entry into the village via Dunstable Rd and have been working with CBC over the last months regarding a design. We will be looking to introduce traffic calming measures at the same time.

Please take a look at the design and if you have any comments or suggestions, please contact the Clerk.
