The volume and speed of traffic in Lindfield keeps increasing.  This petition by residents of Lindfield requests West Sussex County Council to introduce traffic calming and reduce the speed limit in Lindfield Village to 20mph.

We have a large number of pedestrians in the village and few safe places to cross the road.  We have school pupils - 660 young children from Lindfield Primary Academy, 210 from Blackthorns Primary Academy and 1,246 students from Oathall Community College.  We also have the vibrant King Edward Village Hall which runs a daily pre-school nursery, many classes and events for the elderly and those with disabilities, plus a variety of day and evening events which run 7 days a week. These all involve people moving around our village and research shows real reductions in collisions and injuries when the traffic is calmer. Surrey County Council experience

As our village community continues to increase due to further housing developments we must take steps to ensure all residents and particularly our children can move about safely. Other villages near us have implemented similar proposals.  If you would like to see a reduction in the speed of vehicles to 20mph travelling through Lindfield, please sign the petition below and pass on to those who may be interested.  

Thank you
