20mph zone planned for school near Much Wenlock
Plans to impose new speed restrictions outside a school near Much Wenlock have been revealed.
Shropshire Council is proposing to reduce the speed limit on several roads within the vicinity of Church Preen Primary School.
Under the plans, 20mph zones would be imposed on four unclassified roads around the primary school, in a move to "improve the safety of school children".
A spokesperson for Shropshire Council said: "The introduction of a 20mph speed limit on the roads in the vicinity of Church Preen Primary School in line with Shropshire Council’s guidance from 2023 is proposed to improve the safety of school children.
"The extents of the 20mph limit are proposed to cover the main school entrances as well as the crossroads junction adjacent to the school."
A consultation for the plans is open from January 26 to February 16, with documents available for viewing at Much Wenlock Library during regular opening hours.
