Safer Newington Road, Ramsgate: 20 mph limit and safer crossings.

We the undersigned petition the council to Assess a 20 mph speed limit and safer pedestrian crossings on Newington Road, Ramsgate, between Whitehall Road junction, beside The Corner community centre and The Windmill pub, and Windmill Walk junction.

This short section of the street has 17 businesses, a community centre and two schools—Ramsgate Arts Primary School and Small Haven School. Facilities include a pub, GP surgery, pharmacy, shops and a busy fish-and-chip restaurant, attracting pedestrians throughout the day.

Some vehicles travel very fast, making crossing difficult, particularly for children, older people and people with mobility difficulties. We ask KCC to review traffic speeds and pedestrian safety. If a 20 mph limit already applies to any part, please assess clearer signs and measures to improve compliance.

Paper signatures are also being collected for the same road-safety request and will be submitted separately as a linked petition.

This ePetition runs from 27/10/2026 to 27/01/2027.
