Following several petitions from residents for reducing speeds to 20mph in their streets, West Reading councillors decided to conduct a borough-wide consultation to gauge the support for a blanket 20mph restriction on all residential streets off the oxford Road in Reading. A survey was carried out via social media channels, email, WhatsApp groups between Monday 11 January and Sunday 31 January 2021. and a majority (81%) of those who responded supported the proposals.
This results has been presented to the council’s Traffic Management sub-committee and a response to the survey’s findings are expected at its March Meeting.

Our analysis Methodology
A total of 219 people responded to the consultation questionnaire.
Some of the questions in the consultation questionnaire allowed the respondent to tick multiple answers. Therefore, in some of the analysis, the sum of the response to a question may be higher than 100%. Questions seems to be based on the total number of respondents per question, as not all respondents answered every question.
Comparisons are only possible where enough residents have responded to the questionnaire. Someone would say that a base size is below 250 it does not allow for reliable statistical comparisons.
