20 is Plenty

As there have been a number of road traffic incidents in recent history, the Town Council has decided to take advantage of the recent campaign "20 is Plenty". It is hoped by reducing the speed limit on roads that the traffic will flow more steadily, there will be less accidents and it will give more people confidence to cycle and walk. It is also hoped that this will help make the town safer, easier to navigate and as a result more attractive and friendly.

The aim of this survey is to get your thoughts on the proposal and determine if it is supported by the community. This survey will also be available in paper format from The Beacon.

The key principles behind the proposal are to:
1. Reduce the speed limit to 20 mph outside all schools within Wantage, in all residential areas and in the Town Centre.
2. Maintain an east/west link via Mably Way that is 30 mph (apart from where it passes schools).

Please look at the proposal at:

for full details.

Please note that the information given by you in this survey will be used to by the Town Council to help develop its proposal and, to take this forward and help the Council understand some of the objectives and desires of the residents.
