20mph speed limit
CITY-WIDE 20mph speed limits in Winchester have come a step closer.
Civic chiefs gave the go-ahead for a scheme in Highcliffe and Winnall.
The Daily Echo reported last year that county chiefs have earmarked £200,000 for ten schemes in residential areas across the county, including Stanmore, Medstead and the Cherbourg Road area of Eastleigh.
Winchester has a further £150,000 from the local sustainable transport fund.

Can we have something similar on Gore Road in New Milton as a number of motorists seem to think it is the Nurburgring.

So why does this cost £200,000? Surely all they need to do is change a few signs?

Well for the £200,000 to do that we should just stick with the 30mph limit. Everyone will fo 30 anyway and quite a lot of the time around central winchester you wont be doing much more than 10 anyway.
