We believe the residential streets of Hitchin, including Benslow Lane, Chiltern Road and The Avenue would be safer if a 20mph speed limit was introduced. As I’m sure you’re aware, these roads are a main thoroughfare for pedestrians including families, school children the elderly.

By signing the petition, this proposal can then be raised with the County Council’s highway panel and recorded as a community issue, this would hopefully result in the scheme being funded.

A 20mph zone has successfully been introduced in the residential streets of North Hitchin. Hopefully, with your help we can make the streets where we live safer for everyone.
