Tackling Speeding in Our Communities: String of Limits Cut in Response to Local Concerns
As I've written here previously, as I talk to residents across the Borough it is striking how often the issue of speeding traffic on our residential roads comes up as a primary concern of people in all of our communities.

As far as the Council is concerned, we oversee speed limits on local roads across the Borough, in consultation with the police, and in response to the number of concerns raised with me I launched a review of speed limits across the Borough last year.
