Update on Quiet Lanes

19th October 2022 | Parish Council News, Quiet Lanes

In August 2021 Designation notices were posted, and parish letters and maps delivered to all affected households in August 2021. Following this, Suffolk County Council had to review all the responses and prepare reports to Suffolk County Council Cabinet for sign off.

There were no changes to the final routes put forward by the parish council (shown below) and a Designation Order was published by Suffolk County Council on 24th August this year.

The Quiet Lanes team has been working with Suffolk County Council highways, who have now published a scheme for the posts identifying Quiet Lanes in the parish.  You can see the position of the posts marking the access and egress to the lanes by viewing this pdf:

Locations on Baxters Green and  Genesis Green have been included in the proposals for Ousden for practicality purposes.

The Quiet Lanes Suffolk team has decided that parish councils will need to make their own arrangements for the installation of the new sign plates. At its September meeting the Parish Council approved funding for the necessary equipment to be provided to parish volunteers for this purpose (you can see the report here).

New posts will be installed by Suffolk Highways and new sign plates will be supplied to parish councils in due course by Quiet Lane Suffolk.  If you would like to help with installing the sign plates when they are available, please do contact the clerk, Hilary Workman – .
