A30/ Firs Road new 50mph limit

The Parish Council are delighted to report that the new 50mph limit on the A30 is now in place at the Firs Road junction.

This has taken over 3 years to achieve. The Parish Council had to commission a study to verify the safety benefits – we ideally wanted a 40mph limit, but the junction didn’t meet this criteria. There was a statutory legal process to undertake by Wiltshire Council to reduce the speed limit, and this process has been revised which caused delay. Finally the physical works needed to be programmed into the highways maintenance schedule.
