TWENTY IS PLENTY -WEST TOWN LANE Newton St Cyres
Since my election as District Councillor for Newbrooke I've been asked by several residents who live along West Town Lane what can be done about speeding traffic along the Lane. This is a typical narrow village road with no pavements, housing abutting the road along its length, children playing on the street and people walking along the road to get to the bus stops and the village shop. Elderly people often cannot hear cars approaching.
In my view Twenty MPH is more than plenty but there are often cars, farm traffic and delivery vans driving much too fast down the lane.
I think we should be asking for an official 20mph limit or zone along the length of West Town Lane. In the meantime, it’s been suggested we put up our own unofficial "Twenty is Plenty" and also ""children playing" signs along the lane. Many villages have done this and have reported success in reducing speeding.
Are you a resident of West Town Lane, Woodlands, Meadowlands or Marsh Lane? What do you think about these ideas? Please let me know. If you think this is not a good idea let me know too. Do you have any other suggestions to make? Read more about Twenty is Plenty in different parts of the country and send me a message me on my District Councillor Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/Graeme-Barnell-District-Councillor-476396543103535/
