ePetition details

In response to concerns raised by residents Bledlow cum Saunderton Parish Council commissioned a series of speed surveys at a number of locations in the Parish. The most extreme instances of speeding were captured on Chinnor Road, Bledlow Ridge outside the entrance to the Cricket Club and Playground. Over the sampling period 25% of vehicles were travelling in excess of 35mph (the limit here is 30mph) with some instances seen of vehicles travelling in excess of 50mph. Given this evidence, it is clear that the existing speed limit re-enforcement measures (30mph road markings and a flashing 30mph sign) are ineffective. The Cricket Club and Playground are widely used and popular with a newly established Cafe and Parent/Toddler group adding to the residents appreciation and use of the facilties. In order to create a safer village and encourage sustainable local journeys we believe that there is a very strong case for physical traffic calming measures to be implemented at this location.
