RIGHTRACKS ROADSHOWS IN AYNHO AND WOODFORD HALSE

Brackley Town Hall CarKraft Young Driver courses
Aynho Parish Council, through its membership of the Rightracks Rural Road Safety Forum have secured 7 places for young Aynho residents, on each of the following courses:
- CarKraft Drive 16. A one-day pre-driving experience day at the Silverstone Circuit. This is a great opportunity for Aynho 16-year olds to learn to drive from experts at the Silverstone complex before they get their provisional licence. Details of the course are on the attached flier/competition entry form. The 7 winning 16 year old entries will secure the event places
- CarKraft Experience. A one-day driving experience day at the Silverstone Circuit for 17-24 year olds who already drive. The objective is for each participant to become a better, safer and more confident driver. Details of this event are again listed on the attached flier and competition entry form. The 7 winning 17-24 year old entries will secure the places at the event
Both Events will be run by the Northamptonshire Road Safety Partnership (Northants County Council and Northants Police) and will be staffed by qualified instructors. Both courses have been run before and have proved to be highly successful
If you need further copies of the entry forms please email Sadie the Parish Clerk at aynhopc [at] googlemail [dot] com to whom completed entries for each of the competitions should be returned by the date indicated on the flier

Highways and Transport
As part of the Right Tracks programme, the council has agreed to the installation of an Automated Number Plate Recognition camera for a trial period of three to six months, to gather information to improve highway safety along the B4100. In response to the issues raised in the Parish Plan and to subsequent concerns raised by residents, the council is inviting the recently appointed Parking Officer, from SNC, to a guided tour of the village to recommend ways to alleviate the problems.
