Petition response:
Thank you for your petition regarding a request to reduce the speed limit along Hilderstone Road.
The Community Highways Team and the local County Councillor are aware of the concerns raised and have met to discuss the concerns on Hilderstone road. In recognition of these, the Member has already allocated their Divisional Highways Programme (DHP) funding to commission a feasibility for this section of road.
This study will assess the current road environment, traffic speeds and collision history, and determine whether any changes to the existing speed limit or other measures would be appropriate and in line with national and local policy. Once the study has been completed, we will share the outcomes and recommendations of the feasibility with Cllr Bagguley and agree an appropriate way forward, which will be shared with the Parish Council.
We appreciate the community’s continued engagement, and the feasibility study will be managed through the County Councillor’s DHP allocation, and any updates or outcomes will be shared via the local Member once available.
Kind regards,
Richard RaysonI.Eng, FIHE
Community Highway Manager
