Rejected petition Trying to lower the speed limit on Burton Road leading up to Tutbury (A511)!
We're wanting to lower the speed limit on Burton Road leading to Tutbury (A511) its currently the national speed limit which is way too high! This now needs to be lower as there is new housing estate! Trying to pull out of the junction is a nightmare aswel as turning into the new estate!

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

You could raise this issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
