“The future health, safety and well-being of our residents who want to feel safer near their homes and walking into town will significantly improve with the introduction of a 20 mph scheme”.
Thank you to residents who have been supporting efforts to improve road safety in the town. Dorset Council agreed the proposal for 20 mph speed limits throughout most of the town, as part of the town council’s overall ‘Vision’ for the town to be:
“A safer, cleaner, more attractive and more accessible place for all of its residents, workers and visitors.”
The next step is for Dorset Council to carry out a public consultation on the 20mph scheme and for other safety and accessibility improvements to be developed. Please look out for the 20mph public survey.
