CALL FOR 20MPH SPEED LIMIT OUTSIDE ROPE PRIMARY SCHOOL

 

Rope Ward Cheshire East Borough Councillors are pressing for a 20mph limit outside the Berkeley Primary School in Rope.

Cllr Margaret Simon says;

“Laidon Avenue is a  very busy road, particularly during the morning  rush hour. We believe that achieving a speed limit of 20mph would help drivers to focus on the need to take care in this area.”

Cllr Brian Silvester said,

"Keeping our children safe whilst travelling to and from school is of paramount importance and we will do everything we can to slow the traffic down outside the school and to make these roads safer for our residents. We are also suggesting that double yellow lines should be introduced at the junction of Rope Bank Avenue and Laidon Avenue to alleviate parent parking problems on this narrow junction which is also a bus route. Currently parked vehicles on this corner cause a lot of congestion because traffic cannot get through.”
