Watlington is a historic and attractive Town close by the Chiltern, and suffers from speeding cars, and heavy vehicles. The streets are narrow and some critical places lack adequate pavements to safeguard pensioners or children in buggies. Exceeding the 30mph speed limit along Britwell (B4009) and Cuxham Roads (B480) is the norm.

Recent "speed cushions" in Britwell Road have been ineffective, while Police, due to equipment and infrastructure, cannot enforce the 30mph speed limit to manage the problems. We the undersigned request and require the Parish and County Council with support of Thames Valley Police and other appropriate agencies to take our concerns seriously and take action to end speeding along the Britwell (B4009) and Cuxham Roads (B480) and across the Town generally. Do this now! Before someone is killed or seriously injured.

This petition will be mailed in electronic and hard copy to the County Council on March 31st 2010 together with a supporting press release to all local press.
