The Council has issued a draft order for introducing 20 mph on lengths of several roads in Bathwick ward.

The roads involved include mainly the residential areas situated off Bathwick Hill, and the Claverton Down area, and the residential areas off Warminster Road. Only a very short section at the top of Bathwick Hill is included together with only the section of North Road near King Edwards School.  For further details, you can access the relevant webpage on the Council website here, and we can also provide further information.  Any representations about these proposals need to be with the Council by 15 January 2015, and should be sent directly to them.

Local campaigner Claire Jackson said “the introduction of 20 mph limits in residential areas is a positive step in improving safety in the local road environment for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists alike”.
