Would villagers please report any accidents that they see at the Eastwell crossroads on Scalford Road at Cross Roads Farm to Parish Councillor Stuart Bridge who is asking  for GIVE WAY & STOP signage  to make the crossroads safer. So far, LCC Highways have refused on the basis that the accident records do not justify the change.
