The proposed changes aim to address the speeding concerns on West Hill Road. The council has identified a number of speeding incidents, including a recent incident where a car was travelling at 40mph in a 30mph zone. Here’s a breakdown of the proposed changes:

• High-speed bumps: Two new 75mm high speed bumps will be installed on West Hill Road, specifically outside numbers 41 and 65/67. These bumps are designed to slow down vehicles traveling at high speeds. * Narrower junction: A narrower junction will be created at the junction of Durley Road and West Hill Road.

  For example, it could mention the type of improvements being sought, such as wider pavements, better lighting, or traffic calming measures. * The paraphrased version could also be strengthened by providing context about the West Hill Road area.

  The new speed limit of 20 mph will be implemented in a phased manner, starting with a 20 mph zone on the section of road between the Durley Road Car Park and West Cliff Mansions. This zone will be implemented in phases, with the initial phase focusing on the area around the car park. The new speed limit will be enforced by traffic cameras and speed enforcement officers. The new speed limit is expected to reduce traffic congestion and improve road safety.
