WINCHESTER traffic chiefs have identified several parts of Winchester as potential areas for a new 20mph speed limit.

The city and county councils are considering the new limit and research into accidents suggests that North Walls and St George’s Street are potential spots.

Stanmore, Harestock, Winnall and Highcliffe are estates that also could be considered, says a city council report.

Speed surveys will be undertaken and an analysis of casualty statistics will be also done.

They have been looking at how Portsmouth has managed to introduce the 20 limit The issue was due to be discussed at the town forum tonight.

What a load of baloney. 20 mph has been tried elsewhere. It does not work, the police will not enforce it except perhaps at schools, and it should be scrapped before any more money is wasted. What Winchester needs is two way traffic everywhere again and getting rid of traffic wardens and endless yellow lines.

Why do WCC have to keep meddling? Parking restriction (getting rid of parked cars), Traffic Calming measures (effectively replacing "parked cars" - just leave it alone & give us value for money on our Council Tax - oh, but you'd be out of a job them wouldn't you?! Give us all a break!!
