Over 50 people commented on our request for views about a 20mph speed limit in Yoxford. The majority were in favour. The Parish Council discussed it at a recent meeting. Although we would like to get the limit lowered to 20mph, we know from previous discussions, that our County Councillor does not support 20mph limits. We also know that the County Council’s 20mph speed limit policy excludes A roads, B roads, and roads where current average speeds exceed 24mph. Rather than waste your money requesting a speed limit change that will be rejected, we are campaigning to get the County Council to change its 20mph policy, remove its restrictions, and implement 20mph limits where there is strong local support. The first step in our campaign is a petition to the County Council. If you would like to sign the petition please complete the form here
Brilliant idea.
