Is 40mph too much for Hart Common?
The Council is to assess whether the 40mph speed limit through Hart Common is too much.
It follows calls from the Liberal Democrat team for additional safety measures to be explored.
It comes after a young boy was knocked down further up the road at the Wigan Road / Wearish Lane junction.
Many Hart Common residents believe this is the time to act and reduce the speed limit to bring it down to 30mph.
Liberal Democrat councillor Julia Silvester welcomed the news that a speed survey is to be carried out. She said: “We are pleased that we have been able to organise a speed survey after residents’ requests.”
The Lib Dem team has asked for this to be carried out as soon as possible, so the Council has agreed that the survey will be carried out from 2nd November, after the school holidays.
