Chipping Campden is a small market town nestling in a fold in the hills in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is often referred to as "the Jewel of the Cotswolds". Our High Street is famous for its elegant terraced houses made from honey-coloured Cotswold limestone.

The architecture of the High Street dates from the 14th to the 17th Century and the entire centre of the Town is a Conservation Area. Administratively, we are situated in the Campden Vale Ward of Cotswold District Council in Gloucestershire. The Town Council is responsible for providing a number of facilities within the Town including the allotments on Aston Road and the cemetery at West End Terrace. It is also responsible for the maintenance of St. James' churchyard and as the Sole Managing Trustee of two of the town's trusts it is responsible for the Grade II* listed Town Hall, the War Memorial Green (designed by the famous architect F.L. Griggs), the Town Square car park and The Playing Field and Recreation Grounds at George Lane and Castle Gardens.

We are also a statutory consultee on planning applications that are made to Cotswold District Council and our team of Councillors and Volunteers are currently working on our draft Neighbourhood Development Plan.

September Update - ANPR Aston Road, Chipping Campden

The ANPR camera was installed on 9th March 2023.

Since then I have been monitoring traffic volumes and especially speeds.

Volumes had a high in May of 148,412.

As the days in the month vary then to make speed exceedance comparisons I have turned to monthly percentages.

I presume as drivers became aware of the camera they have moderated their speeding.

In May there was 45.2% speeding above the 30mph limit and this has decreased to 33.59% in August. More »

Cars doing in excess of 60mph has also declined from 0.025% to 0.01% although this is a lot smaller sample. Interestingly of the 119 cars exceeding 60mph there are only a couple who have transgressed twice and these aren't generally repeat offenders. This points to cars not from our area but using Chipping Campden as a through route from Evesham to Shipston and vice versa.

We haven't yet seen the effect of the Police contacting speeding drivers but this should in the near future have the required result.
