Plans to reduce speed limit on A-road near Shropshire town revealed
Residents have until November 20 to give their views
Plans to reduce the speed limit on an A-road near Bridgnorth are being considered by the local authority.
Shropshire Council is proposing to reduce the speed limit on a stretch of the A458 Bridgnorth to Stourbridge road near Wootton.
A council spokesperson said the proposed reduction is aimed at “improving safety for all road users” and making it safer for vehicles to turn in and out of Ridgewell Hill.
Under the plans, the existing 50mph zone would be extended by several hundred metres.
The consultation on the plans are running until November 20, giving members of the public an opportunity to comment on the proposals.
Residents can view the proposed changes and the accompanying plan through the council's consultation website.
Details of the proposals can be viewed at Bridgnorth Library during normal opening hours.
