The Local Transport Group, is considering projects supported by responses to the "Getting About" section of document "Do you care about the future of your town?" which was distributed by hand in March 2006 to nearly 8,000 residents and businesses in Petersfield, with copies sent to adjoining parishes. A questionnaire in the document was completed by nearly 600 people - a response rate of 7.5%.
ln the "Getting About" section, the replies to the first five specific questions produced the following results:

In addition to the total number of replies to each question, 160 respondents (an average of 35%) added specific comments, which have been summarised in a report dated 20/8/06.
In other sections of the questionnaire, the following five items were related to highways and road use:

The specific comments received from these five questions have also been summarised in reports dated 20/8/06. Where the initial question (e.g. A review of car parking) did not indicate a direct policy, these comments give a good indication of the respondents' views and a mandate for future action.
