The Boxgrove and Halnaker Traffic Calming Group say up to 40 per cent of traffic entering Boxgrove is over the speed limit.
“Speeds of 55mph in a 30mph limit have been recorded outside the village shop,” Jim Mcdonald, from the group, said. “Road risk is most affected by speed. Just by slowing down a little, we can create safer, healthier places to be.”

The group believes ‘20’s Plenty’ and wants a permanent 20mph limit for the whole village.
