Take the survey on 20mph for Egerton Road

Your local County Councillor Mark Jewell has campaigned strongly for 20mph speed limits on residential roads. This resulted in the Larches area of Cllr Jewell’s district becoming one of three areas across Lancashire to pilot the scheme.

Based on the successes of these trials 20mph speed limits have been rolled out across Lancashire. The Ashton area is scheduled to also have 20mph before end March next year. Blackpool Road, Tulketh Road, Pedders Lane and Egerton Road are to remain as 30mph speed limits.

Cllr Jewell explained, “When these schemes were first proposed to me I requested Highways undertake a survey of residents on Egerton Road. Unfortunately, this did not happen. Residents can now take my on-line survey as to whether they want Egerton Road to be reduced to a 20mph speed limit.”

He added, “Depending on the responses to this survey I will beat the drum at County Hall for Egerton Road to retrospectively become a 20mph limit, if that is what residents want.”
