Make Bounds Oak Way Safer – Reduce Speed Limits to 20 mph

Speeding cars on our streets put our children, pedestrians, and cyclists at risk every day. As concerned residents and parents, we are calling for the speed limit on Bounds Oak Way and surrounding streets to be reduced from 30 mph to 20 mph to create a safer, family-friendly neighborhood.

Why This Matters

• Protect Our Children – Lower speeds reduce the risk of serious accidents. Studies show that a pedestrian hit at 20 mph has a much higher chance of survival than at 30 mph.
• Safer for Everyone – Slower speeds mean safer roads for all, including elderly residents, dog walkers, and cyclists.
• Proven Impact – According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), 20 mph zones significantly reduce injuries and fatalities.

Our Request

We urge local authorities to lower the speed limit to 20 mph on:

✅ Bounds Oak Way

✅ Great Bounds Drive

✅ Birchwood Avenue

✅ Harding Avenue

✅ Dower House Crescent

✅ Brockhurst Gardens

✅ Smythe Close

✅ Extend the existing 20 mph limit on Darnley Drive and The Crescent to cover the full street
