At its June meeting, the Town Council passed a motion supporting the 20’s Plenty for Gloucestershire Campaign.
The Town Council has written to Gloucestershire County Council calling upon them to provide a 20mph speed limits throughout Gloucestershire on streets where people live, work, shop, play or learn, with 30mph as the exception.
This follows a request by the Town Council to introduce a 20mph speed limit across the whole of Northleach. We understand that the request is now with the Gloucestershire Road Safety Team for review.
Separately the Town Council supported a request by residents to review the 40mph speed limit on the Fosse Way by the Old Prison. Unfortunately, the highways department has said there is “no justification” for a reduction in the speed limit in this location. We are making further enquiries to help understand the basis of this response.
