20 IS PLENTY CAMPAIGN
Dear Residents of Bishop’s Waltham,
Hampshire Highways have been investigating the feasibility of “20 is Plenty” over the last couple of years.
The “application” has now been delegated to Parish Councils, but, without funding!
The criteria are “strict” for example it has to be a current 30 MPH area.
40 MPH areas will NOT be considered by Hampshire Highways.
A consultation MUST also be undertaken.
BWPC on Fridays 25th October, 01st November and 08th November 2024 will be holding a drop-in session in the foyer of Jubilee Hall between 1000 hours and 1200 hours.
The intention is to allow residents to suggest areas that BWPC could consider applying to Hampshire Highways for possible consideration for “20 is plenty”.
Please note:
There is no funding for BWPC to finance the application. The approximate cost is c. £20,000 per application and this would have to be funded by an increase in the Precept (the amount of money requested from Council Tax payers).
Cllr Kevin Jones
Chair of the Planning and Highways Committee
Bishop’s Waltham Parish Council
