It’s been a long time coming, so we ask residents to respond positively to WSCC on the consultation for speed reductions on The Fleet. This is the final hurdle to allow implementation of the Community Highways Scheme that will see better crossing points, an enhanced bus stop and the current 40mph speed limit reduced to 30mph. Please voice your support.
