2010 West Cheshire Pedestrians Actions Survey
 

1.

 
Welcome to this survey of West Cheshire pedestrians. It should take no more than 10 minutes to complete.

Following the September/November 2009 survey of pedestrians' concerns, we are keen to hear what actions you feel should be taken by the authorities and others.

We have suggested some actions that might be taken. Please tell us your views on them, and add any others that you think would be worthwhile.

1. What is your opinion on the following actions (these are given in random order)?

 Strongly againstAgainstNo strong opinionIn favourStrongly in favour
Stronger action by Cheshire Police against people cycling fast on pavements
Widening of narrow pavements by the Council
Company vans to stop parking on pavements unless there are exceptional circumstances
Overgrown hedges should be cut back to edge of property
When pavements are narrowed to less than 2.0 metres by parked vehicles etc, Cheshire Police should treat this as obstruction of the highway (2.0 metres is the minimum recommended by Living Streets).
Wheelie bins should be put back in an orderly fashion after being emptied
Generally better enforcement of parking regulations by the Cheshire Police and the Council
Better maintainance of pavements by the Council
A reduction in the standard speed limit on residential roads from 30 mph to 20 mph (as has recently been done in Portsmouth, Oxford and elsewhere)
More pedestrian road crossings
More dropped kerbs
Strict enforcement of parking regulations around schools
Stricter enforcement of speed limits
More routes for safer cycling
More signs for pedestrian routes
The Council to supply "Pavements are for People" stickers that can be applied to the windscreens of illegally parked vehicles, similar to those supplied free to the public by Oxford Council.
