•  Cars doing more than 30 in village

•  Need notices of no footpaths in village

•  Traffic speed too high but any measures to control need to be sensitive to village environment

•  Cut through when A303 blocked

•  Car sharing scheme for Whitchurch station, working elsewhere e.g. Basingstoke and school runs

•  Pavement from village hall car park to school

•  More slow signs on the road

•  No long vehicles in Longparish

•  Street lighting along lines of Barton Stacey

•  Traffic speed

•  Roads totally inadequate for modern traffic sizes and volume

•  Safety bumps/slow signs by the skate ramp/play park

•  Footpaths

•  Warning sign entrance to Forton from main road

Speed of traffic too high - need calming measures

  Access to church/school car park, esp for cycling

What's should be improved about Traffic & Road Safety

•  Resurfacing

•  Maintenance of roads.   They should be properly repaired, widened and the drains kept clear.   None of this is currently done

•  Keep drains clear and control speed to include turning into Mill Lane

•  Resurface A303 to reduce noise

•  Drainage

•  More frequent road repairs and regular drain clearage to reduce flooding risk

•  Cut hedges back A LOT - especially from Forton to A303

•  Pavements in North Acre unsafe for wheelchair users

•  Speed traps to stop/slow down rat runners during heavy traffic on A303

•  A difficult one - lack of pavement for people going up and down village road.   Speedy vehicles

•  Make it hard/impossible for large lorries without too much urban paraphernalia

•  Reduce noise.   Need low noise surface on A303

•  Hear hear

•  Too many people still speed through village

•  Speed limit right through village from Forton to end of village

•  Please may we have a warning sign for ducks before the Plough pub

•  Street lights

•  Speed restricted

•  Some of the roads in the area are in desperate need of repair

•  Resurfacing pavement outside school.   Encourage people to walk from North Acre to school along footpath.   Need to improve surface of footpaths

•  More awareness of people walking to and from school so a walking bus would be safe

•  Stop lorries coming through village

•  30mph limit extended to cover all Southside Road and Mill lane

•  Cutting banks/hedges/etc.   very untidy in places

30mph limit should be extended to include other end of Southside Road

• Lorries should not be allowed to drive through (except local deliveries)
• Access to the village hall
• Paving for children to school
• A pavement on the strip of road leading to the village hall
• The corner on road by village hall is dangerous for pedestrians to cross from the school to the village hall
• We need post around the bendy corners
• Need black & white warning signs around corner outside school

•  I think a mirror needs to be put by the corner by the village hall to help drivers see what's coming up the other side

•  Pavements are a little uneven

•  Pavements and paths

•  Speed

•  Pavements in North Acre unsuitable for wheelchairs and electric scooters

•  More parking for cars

•  Pedestrian access and footpaths

•  Speed reduction through the village

•  People speed around the school particularly people unfamiliar with the village approaching from the A303 don't slow down

•  Pavements and roads in constant need of constant repair

•  Paths and pavements

• Brambles need cutting back for cyclists

What's the most important thing about Traffic & Road Safety

September 2003

•  Safety for pedestrians but NO STREET LIGHTS or excessive urban traffic calming

•  Stopping large lorries.   No street lights

•  Signs on A303 and A3400 at Hurstbourne informing large vehicles - 'Village unsuitable for large vehicles'

•  Not to introduce non village measures - such as street lighting.   This would take away the essence of village life

•  A footpath parallel to road through village

•  Speed.   Pavements and paths

•  A303 noise suppressing surface like near A34 junction West bound

Try to stop large lorries and similar coming through if they don't need to visit the village.

• Slow the traffic down
  Also slow the parents down on the school run

•  Traffic calming!

•  Weight restrictions!

•  20mph limit!

•  Pavements need attention

•  Street lighting would be of benefit to the village

•  Lack of light pollution

• Vehicle weight limit through village
