east woodhay parish plan - Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council

16East Woodhay Parish PlanTransport & Accessibility continuedThere is considerable support for reducing the speed limit to 30mph throughout the Parish with amajority of respondents in favour. Most people thought that the speed limits by the schools shouldbe reduced to 20mph, although there were a number of written comments requesting it only bereduced at times of school traffic activity.In general, residents thought the pavements were in good order, although inconsiderate parking onpavements was often raised as an issue. The main concern was the large gaps on relatively busy roadsbetween one stretch of pavement and the next, e.g. in Trade Street and by Harwood Paddock.There is a need to review the requirement for pavements and how pedestrian access can beimproved without losing the rural nature of our Parish.There is some provision for voluntary transport through Neighbourcare. Although the numbers arenot huge, three times as many people said they would be willing to offer voluntary transport as arecurrently involved.
