Speed Indicator Device Consultation — Your Results

Earlier this year, Hildenborough Parish Council launched a public consultation asking residents for their views on the installation of Speed Indicator Devices (SIDs) along the B245 and other roads in the village. We are pleased to share the results of that survey.

Overwhelming support for SIDs

An impressive 85.5% of respondents said they support the installation of Speed Indicator Devices in Hildenborough, with only 12.7% opposed and 1.8% unsure.

Speeding is a real concern for residents

The results show that speeding is a significant worry for the local community. 63.6% of respondents said they are very concerned about speeding in Hildenborough, particularly along the B245, with a further 23.6% somewhat concerned. That means nearly nine in ten respondents have some level of concern about vehicle speeds in the village.
