Petition updateSafety Crossing & Speed Camera on Canterbury Road

Meeting 18th October 19:00 Hrs Hawking Community Centre

As you may know, a small committee has been formed to make our local roads safer and we wanted to give you an update.


Our aim is to be the focus for resident’s road safety thoughts and concerns, as a way of achieving changes through relevant highways and county council authorities, via our elected council representatives.
We want to support residents in making the village a safer and healthier place to be by campaigning for:


·       A speed reduction on the A260 and Coach Road, to the government recommended village limit of 30 mph
·       Safe places for pedestrians to cross on the A260, pedestrian crossings can only be installed on a 30 mph restriction.
·       Traffic calming measures like better signs about the risks
 
Common sense suggests that the current 40 mph limit on the long, straight, A260 into the village isn’t conducive to pedestrians safely crossing to access buses, local amenities or simply walking on the narrow or non-existent pavements to enjoy the environment.


A meeting has been confirmed for all residents to attend at Hawkinge Community Centre on 18th October at 7pm


We would greatly appreciate as many persons as possible to attend, so you can offer your support on the above points to make Densole a safer place to live.


You can make all the difference, and this is your opportunity to do something positive for the community.
Come on Densole Lets be having you!!
