We request a reduction in the speed limit from 30mph to 20mph on the A283 between the junction of North Street and High Street and the junction of Washington Road and Woodpecker Lane.
The footpath is extremely narrow particularly at the bottom of Manleys Hill and vehicles travelling at speed (when traffic levels allow) are dangerously close to pedestrians, many of whom are frail, wheelchair bound or walking with infants and young children. Furthermore there is no pedestrian crossing in the area of the junction with Meadowside and this road is crossed frequently.

The scale of support reached today confirms that the safety concerns regarding the A283 corridor have reached the necessary internal threshold for formal review. My next step is to submit this documentation to the West Sussex County Council highways department to request a formal speed limit assessment.

I use that route almost daily and I have witnessed Incidents of vehicles travelling at speeds in excess of 30mph appear to be on the rise down this stretch from Fryern Road down to the Mini Roundabout by the Vintage Rose Cafe. I was even over taken by a small White Van going down the hill, which then had to brake hard by the Car Park entrance. May I suggest that perhaps a stint of the Traffic Speed Observers placed at or around the Fire Station outside of Rush hour would be an opportunity to capture some data.
I also have walked along this pavement and only just avoided being hit by the wing mirrors of a van. It is very dangerous walking along this stretch of pavement.
Just moved into the area and totally agree that the speed of traffic in and out of Storrington needs to be addressed.
Speed restrictions should start further out of the village. Possibly at Sussex Downtown the east, the duck pond to the west and Newtown Road to the south. A 15 mph limit would also be welcome in Meadowside and Browns Lane.
Any contribution to slowing traffic in and around the village centre would be welcomed. I do feel a speed camera is needed going in and out of Storrington on all roads would help, as I dont feel a speed limit reduction will make alot of difference. If motorists are hit in their pocket, it will make them think twice about speeding. Also need to reduce the amount of lorries
In full agreement but don't think it will make a difference as vehicles don't keep to 30 now. A camera is needed.
It is very dangerous and it is an accident waiting to happen. The traffic also races down Manleys Hill making it very hard to get out of Meadowside

I live in Chantry Close and trying to cross the A283 from Chantry Lane to Nightingale Lane is very difficult. Once crossed the pavement is narrow, not helped by overhanging bushes and trees. When you arrive at the mini roundabout even narrower pavement and lorries mount the small amount of pavement available to manoeuvre the roundabout.
