Speed Limit Review

NLC are in the middle of a Speed Limit Review, required by Department for Transport circular 01/2006.

They have collected and assessed data for the whole region and are recommending a speed limit of 30 mph for Eastoft (see NLC map below).

They are now in the middle of a 4 week consultation period with Town and Parish Councils (email me if you want a copy of consultation docs).
Proposed Changes to Speed Limits
 Then there will be a consultation with neighbouring authorities, emergency services, road haulage association, bus companies, disability groups etc.
Then follows an assessment of feedback.

Following all this consultation, there will be a report to Cabinet Member outlining proposals and seeking approval to formally progress implementation of review findings – expected time May/June 2011
Then NLC will prioritise implementation measures and formally advertise Traffic Regulation Orders.
Finally NLC will begin implementation with phased introduction of measures.
