Public Consultation – Speed Indicator Devices in Hildenborough

Hildenborough Parish Council is seeking residents’ views on the possible installation and use of Speed Indicator Devices (SIDs) in the village.

These devices display the speed of approaching vehicles and are used to encourage drivers to slow down and improve road safety. Before progressing further, the Parish Council would like to hear from residents about whether you support their use and where you feel they may be most beneficial.

Your feedback will help inform future decisions and discussions with Kent County Council.

Please take a few minutes to complete our short survey:

Your views are important in helping us make Hildenborough’s roads safer for everyone.

Thank you for taking part.
