As Napoleon Bonaparte once said "There is no such thing as an accident:It is fate misnamed: Don't let fate come your way lower the speed limit in Hankham

There are far too many people using Hankham as a short cut and they drive through the village at great speed. We don’t have pavements so locals have to walk on the road. There are often cyclists heading towards Pevensey Marsh and horses too. Reducing the speed limit will also make the roads safer for the children attending the village primary school.

There is going to be a fatality if nothing is done.

For safety in the village. It's a narrow lane, with pedestrians, horses and elderly residents

Roads all round the village are being driven far too fast for the actual road that they are. Some are single track with no passing spaces and still we have a 60 mph limit-madness! There is NO need for there to be an accident-child, walker, cyclist, horse rider, elderly person before things ought to change.

Our village is being used as a rally cross track! It is frankly terrifying as disabled resident!

I've lived in Hankham for 15 years and the speed limit has always been an issue, but I have to say that it has got worse in the last couple of years. A 20mph restriction through out the village would boost welcome, for everyone's safety.

It is unsafe for pedestrians, children, parents, villagers and other road users

It is a very small road and some people drive like maniacs. Not nice when you have animals and people nearly get run over

People use it like a race track, and nothing will be done until there's an accident!

I live in the village and the speeds some drive through it at times are just crazy. The national speed limit signs encourage this, it needs to be ideally a 20mph zone or at worst 30mph through the entire village road net work

Blind-Spot Risk at Turns: Drivers completing a turn often accelerate before they have clear sightlines down the entire street. This creates an immediate hazard for vehicles pulling out of driveways, pedestrians crossing near the corner, or parked cars. ​Reduced Reaction Times: Acceleration zone crashes are often severe because drivers are actively stepping on the gas rather than hovering over the brake as they enter a residential zone. ​Noise and Air Quality: Engine revving and rapid acceleratio

National speed limit is ridiculous in narrow village roads with no pavements, blind bends and horses !

The lanes are very narrow with storm ditches alongside, cars drive much too fast through the village and there is no where to go when such cars come round the corner too fast only to find pedestrians, bicycles or even horses in the way. It is an accident waiting to happen.

Speeding through Hankham’s narrow lanes makes walking, cycling and driving dangerous
