A: Tangmere Road
To move the existing 40mph sign, in both directions, close to the Drayton Lane junction with the Tangmere Road, eastward to the boundary sign of Tangmere Parish. We feel this would be a lot safer for the residents of The Kestrels, and the Littlemead Industrial area.

B:  New Road, Oving
To change the existing National Speed Limit to 40 mph, in both directions, from the junction with Drayton Lane, by the level crossing, eastward to Oving Village. This will slow down the traffic approaching the Village enabling drivers to adhere to the 30 mph limit along the narrow lengths of the High Street.

C: Church Lane, Oving
To move the existing 30mph sign, in both directions, close to the junction of Church Lane and Gribble Lane, eastward to the area adjacent to the Tangmere Bridle Way. As this is a single track road with no pavements, pedestrians have to walk in the road with pushchairs and dogs. When travelling from the east at 60 mph the approach to this section is obscured due to the bend in the road. We strongly feel that to get the speed reduced will hopefully prevent injuries and save lives.

The Parish Council are also looking to get grants for the installation of gates at these points to make drivers aware of the change of speed limits.

HGVs in Oving Village
Also, due to the increase of heavy vehicles passing through the village, we are applying for a weight limit of 7.5 tons to match Tangmere Village. This would be from the junction of Drayton Lane through to Woodhorn Lane. There would of course be an exemption for access.

We are hoping you are in agreement with these proposals and to get them in place before the developments in and around our Parish increase the amount of vehicle movements.

Please use this form to give your feedback on each proposal.  Feedback is anonymous by default but you can provide contact details if you are happy to do so.

Closing date of Consultation 31st December 2021

Thank You.
