After the petition, the council meeting, the investigation, the proposal and the public consultation, it is almost time for the final decision on whether to extend the 30mph limit along Claverton Down Road.

The issue was brought to Council by Dr David Martin following a petition organised by local Liberal Democrats. A proposal was drawn up by council staff to extend the 30mph limit to the Norwood Avenue (university) junction, noting “its accident history and traffic movements”.

An objection was made to the plans, so now they come to the Council Cabinet Member for a final decision. They have been published in his weekly ‘to do’ list here. A decision will be made after 26th March
