For the past four years, Morton-on-Swale has been participating in a scheme organised by North Yorkshire County Council to share with other parishes the use of a pair of Vehicle Activated Speed Signs (VAS) which have been placed at either end of the village at six weekly intervals (6 weeks on, 6 weeks off). Unfortunately that arrangement has now come to an end. The Council has therefore decided to acquire its own VAS signs which will be permanently installed in the same two locations. The funding for this has come partly from Hambleton District Council, in the shape of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL), topped up by a Grant of £1,000 from North Yorkshire County Council's Localities Budget, kindly arranged by County Councillor Annabel Wilkinson. All being well the new signs will be delivered and installed before the end of this year.
