Report a road safety concern

We receive many requests for us to carry out work. In 2023, this figure averaged at over 320 per week. 

Some requests are for maintenance work, but we also receive reports from residents about road safety concerns they may have. These reports are dealt with differently to the requests for maintenance work.

Reporting a concern

1. It is important that when reporting a concern, you explain the issue and the outcome you would like to see.
2. Your concerns will be assessed by an officer and they will recommend an appropriate course of action.
3. You will receive a response indicating the outcome of this assessment and any next steps within 12 weeks.

Concerns over speeding 

You can also let us know about concerns over excessive vehicle speeds. We work with Thames Valley Police who are responsible for the enforcement of speed limits. They investigate concerns and decide upon measures to help to tackle the problem. 

Solutions that may be suggested

Possible solutions could include: 

• Traffic calming  
• Changes to parking regulations 
• New road signing
• Changes to speed limits 
• Installation of crossing aids like zebra, pelican or puffin crossings 
• Installation of Keep Clear markings 

Unfortunately, in many cases we are unable to take further action as we receive a high number of requests, and must balance these against criteria such as traffic volumes, reported incidents and available funds.
