Petitions for and against the idea have been started, with even those opposed to the lower limit recognising the village's traffic problems and the need for something to be done.
Storrington has so much going for it. It's extremely pretty, it has a variety of independent shops, and it was recently named a European Stork Village.

Imagine what it must be like for people with pushchairs or those using wheelchairs or mobility scooters.
