Dudden Hill Proposed 20MPH

Why are we proposing this change? 

For several years the Council have been receiving complaints from residents of Dudden Hill Lane area about vehicles speeding on their roads, and have requested the Council to introduce measures to slow down the speeds.

Speaking to your local ward councillors, we understand that there is a great interest from local community in introducing 20mph speed limits in all the streets in the area shown in the plan at the back of this page. We have been told that local residents want their streets to be safer, discourage drivers using the area as a rat run and make their roads accessible to cyclists and pedestrians.

As a result of our discussions, we are therefore proposing to introduce measures to encourage slower vehicle speeds and to reduce the number and severity of traffic accidents in the area.
