(In alphabetical order with a number in front for reference)

1 All
2 All of Baydon Road Lambourn
3 All over the village
4 All roads
5 All roads in village
6 All through the village, but a 30 on approach, my daughter was killed in front of the houses as Northfields, I would welcome chicanes one every entry to the village though I think Eastbury road entry is not bad for speeding? houses at
7 Also around the school, community centre, doctor surgery
8 Also Baydon Road, Personage Lane, Broadway to the church, Crowle Road, and probably some more
9 Also change the 60 mph and 50 mph speeds to 40 mph as in neighbouring Oxfordshire has implemented.
10 Another pea-brained idea to waste my council tax. Why don’t you spend the money you’re wasting on this to fix the potholes, the collapsing verges, the white lines and the cat’s eyes? Then maybe we might be able to get up to a speed of 20mph.
11 Any road coming into the village, ie upperlambourn road, baydon road, hungerford hill, wantage road, newbury street, mill lane. Although can‚ see it making any difference, as the 30 mph is ignored so can’t see them respecting a 20mph
12 Around schools with flashing lights to enforce the speed limit between school start in the morning and pickup in the afternoon
13 As an ex-pat and a regular visitor back to Lambourn. I totally agree make the speed limit 20mph and enforce it!!

23 East Garston
24 Eastbury – yes, Lambourn High Street -yes, Upper Lambourn High Street – yes. BUT who / how will they be enforced? There is little point in any restriction (or regulation (law) if there is not the will and the ability to enforce it.

76 Would be pointless
