We Asked, You Said, We Did

Thank you to everyone that responded to the public engagement exercise, regarding the proposed 20mph speed limit with “light touch” measures in Chipstead. 

The results are as follows:

Do you support the proposed 20mph speed limit with “light touch” measures? 

Yes – 82%

No – 17%

Neither support nor oppose – 1%

The above results, and the additional comments submitted have been considered in consultation with the local county councillor and the decision has been made to proceed with the works to install the 20mph speed limit with “light touch” measures in Chipstead.

The attached plan provides further details about the “light touch” measures that are planned.  

The next step is to carry out the legal processes necessary to reduce the speed limits, which will need to be completed before the speed limit can be reduced.

We currently hope to install the scheme before the end of March 2025.
