A30 speed limit will be reduced to 50mph at the Firs Rd junction

The Parish Council weren’t successful earlier in the year in obtaining Local Highways and Footpaths Improvements Group (LHFIG) funding to allow the A30 speed limit to be reduced at the Firs Road junction.

However we have continued to work with Wiltshire Council to find alternative funding so that the scheme can take place. The Parish Council are pleased to announce that this has been successful and the speed limit will be reduced on the A30 to 50mph in the vicinity of the Firs Rd junction.

Wiltshire Council are undertaking the formal design work and the necessary legal procedures. The scheme will be implemented by their highway maintenance contractor. Unfortunately we don’t yet know when this will be, it could be 6-12 months before the new lower limit is in place.
