places of work. That said, a small minority of
13% reported problems on occasion.
Speed limits
Our parish and village roads are narrow, often
with properties right up to the kerbside and
in places there are no footpaths. Many of
those surveyed thought that many drivers are
travelling too fast through the village of Preston
on Stour. It is believed that these offenders are
not just outsiders, or the young. Considerable

the 30 mph speed limit: 65% of those surveyed
want it to be reduced to 20mph. Coupled
with this, 33% of respondents would support
an extension of speed limits beyond current
boundaries, particularly to include the bridges
over the Stour in Preston Lane and perhaps the
introduction of a 50 mph limit from the bridges
to the junction with the A3400.
Cycle-paths
Almost two-thirds of respondents thought there
was a need for cycle-paths to link the parish to
local villages and Stratford-upon-Avon.
Street lighting
There were very strong feelings shown within
the community: 82% did not want light
pollution caused by any form of street lighting
within the village of Preston on Stour.
Dog Fouling
Exactly half of all respondents do not consider
‘dog mess’ to be a problem, compared to 34%
who do. Threequarters of the latter believe
there is a need for dog-waste bins in the parish.
Crime prevention
Just over a third did not think more could be
done to enhance crime prevention in the parish,
compared to 24% who felt to the contrary.
There was however considerable comment
about the lack of community police presence
in and around the parish. There was very
strong feeling in favour of the resurrection
of the Neighbourhood Watch Scheme.
Parish Issues
1. Parking in the village.
2. We would prefer a
20 mph speed limit.
3. Dangerous cross-roads
at the entry to the village.
