Thaxted Parish Council have 12 x A4 Vinyl Prints with sticky back “20 IS PLENTY” signs. FREE!
The poster was from the winner of our competition at Thaxted Primary School last year. You may have noticed some permanent signs around Thaxted using this splendid artwork! We are hoping to encourage motorists to SLOW DOWN when driving through our Historic Town and Approach Roads. The limit is of course 30 mph at present BUT 20 mph would be even better…. (especially near our school and town centre).
It would be ideal if these adhesive prints could be placed where motorists can see them e.g. on your front door, wheelie bin (especially on collection days) etc.
So, if you would like one, PLEASE CONTACT: [email protected]

POSTING ON BEHALF OF THAXTED TWINNING Thaxted Twinning Association
Thaxted Twinning Association has been twinned with Saint-Vrain Jumelage for nearly 30 years. Please see the signs as you enter Thaxted - Thaxted Twinned with St. Vrain. We have enjoyed many family visits to them and they in return love coming back to us. The visits are just a long week-end and the only cost involved is the Euro Star train for Thaxted Twinning members. Children of members GO FREE. We host and entertain them when they come here and they host and entertain us when we return the next year.
It is ideal for families in both Thaxted and St. Vrain France to have a short break without paying for accommodation and having days out and entertainment in a home environment. Many of us in Thaxted Twinning have made firm friends with our twinning families and often visit during the year without the need for an organised visit.
However - Our next visit to St. Vrain (France near to Paris) is coming up 5th - 8th June 2026. We are only asking £50 per adult member of Thaxted Twinning for the Euro Star return and their children GO FREE! Costs are rising on Euro Star for us to hold this price from our funds. We already have booked seats for some of our members.
Our twinning town of St. Vrain have many young families who visited Thaxted last year and had a great time with us. It would be a shame if Thaxted Twinning could not do the same for 2027. Please see our website for information and contact details www.thaxtedtwinning.co.uk It also gives you details about Thaxted and St. Vrain, France.

THANKS TO THE MANY WHO SLOWED DOWN. We are volunteers who care about Thaxted and give up our free time to just make speeders aware that the limit through our historic town and approach roads is 30 mph. The registrations of speeders we recorded are sent to the police.
