Consultation on 20mph zone

From 15th November there will be a public exhibition at Newington Library of the proposal to change the speed limits on some roads in the South East Central area of the city to 20mph. This is part of the consultation being carried out by the Council to add more residential streets to the ever-growing list of those where driving is restricted to a low speed in an effort to make the streets safer and to reduce road casualty numbers.

This is a pilot project, and it will mean that 40 miles of roadway will become 20mph zones. The council now wants residents to have their say and is taking the information out to the library and other drop-in sessions.
