What are your views on 20mph zones?

Speeding vehicles in residential roads is one of the most-raised issues in local community safety surveys.  It is something local residents and our Labour Councillors would like to see addressed, including better enforcement of the growing number of 20mph zones in Reading. 
 
The area we are looking is bounded to the north by Portman Road; to the south by Tilehurst Road; to the east by Western Elms Avenue; and to the west by the Dee Road Estate [which is already a 20mph zone.] But would not include Oxford Road, only the residential streets off it.
 
Your local Labour Councillors would like to hear from you to understand the level of local support for the introduction of a wide area 20mph zone.
