Charlton Village in Worcestershire
Results from “20’s Plenty for Us” Village Survey
Survey forms were delivered to every household in Charlton during September, some 250 houses.
48 responses were received (19% of all houses in the Village)
28 responses were in favour of a 20MPH limit throughout Charlton
12 responses were in favour of a 20MPH limit on The Strand, The Green and Canada Bank (the main route used by through traffic)
6 responses favoured no change to the current 30MPH limit throughout the Village
2 respondents spoiled their survey forms
Thus, 83% of all respondents favoured a reduction in the current 30MPH limit
As a consequence of these results, members of Charlton Parish Council passed a resolution at the council meeting on 10th November to petition Worcestershire County Council to pass an order reducing the speed limit in the Village to 30MPH. A letter has been sent to Councillor Mike Rouse, Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Highways & Transport with this request.
If anyone wishes to reinforce this request you can write directly to Councillor Rouse, his email address is:
