TWO councillors are calling on the government to introduce a 20mph limit to roads in a Fareham suburb.

Councillors Fred Birkett and Peter Davies want to see a 20mph zone in the Highlands Road area due to the fact that there are too many bends which they fear could cause an accident.

They are now asking members of the public to have their say.

Cllr Birkett said: “The risk of serious injury dramatically reduces when speed is limited to 20mph, and we are talking about adding seconds to a journey but potentially preventing a serious injury or something much worse.”
