Changes to the speed limits on the C17 through Bearpark were approved today by the Highways Committee of the Council.  I attended the meeting and voiced my support for the scheme which will help to reduce speeds through the village at both ends. 40mph buffer zones are being introduced and more prominent signage.

In addition, the installation of a speed visor is only a matter of months away.

My only regret with this is that it took the council five years to bring forward these plans despite repeated requests from myself and others.
