Rejected petition Reduce the speed limit of Newcastle Road, Hough from 40mph to 30mph

The speed limit as it stands through the village of Hough is 40mph, we would like it reduced to 30mph as we have some very bad bends and junctions on them. We are a built up residential area. We have no public crossing in the Hough.

More details

We would want the government/parliament to consider our petition as we have already had pets killed on the road, and we want change as somebody will be killed. We have a lot of elderly and children in our village.
