A review's being carried out into 20mph zones across Hampshire.

The County Council is asking people what they think about the speed restrictions.

They're often put in place in residential areas to improve safety.

Councillor Edward Heron, Hampshire County Council’s Executive Lead Member for Transport and Environment Strategy, said:

“We are keen to hear from as many residents, businesses and other stakeholders as possible, to find out their views on the implementation of 20mph limits in the context of other highways priorities and the County Council's statutory duties to maintain the highway in a safe condition within a limited budget.

“The findings from the survey, together with data about use of the highway, speed enforcement, road safety and environmental impacts will be important in helping to shape future policy relating to 20mph speed limits in Hampshire and, in turn, future decision-making around 20mph speed limits.”

Hampshire County Council's asking us to take part in a survey to share our views on the speed limits.

It's available on their website and we're told it should only take around 15 minutes to complete.

The survey's open until Monday 12th September.
