Residents of Clarence Terrace and Widcombe Hill have presented a petition to BathNES Council cabinet in favour of a 20mph speed limit in their area. You can now watch the petition being handed in on the council website; the item starts at 17:25 from the beginning.

The Liberal Democrats on BathNES Council are delivering on their manifesto promise of 20mph limits in residential areas. Consultation on an ares including Darlington Road has just been completed. The remainder of Bathwick and Widcombe is phased for public consultation this summer.

The petitioners correctly observed that Clarence Terrace and the area on the top of Claverton Down was not included in an early draft of suggested 20mph zones. Your Liberal Democrat councillors Nicholas Coombes and David Martin have already discussed this omission with council transport staff. When a revised version is published for public consultation in the summer, they expect these streets to be included.
