Gobowen and Oswestry - changes to speed limit order (2016)

Proposal

Title of Scheme

Gobowen and Oswestry - changes to speed limit order

Description

We propose to make some minor changes to the speed limit orders covering the 30mph speed limits on the B5069 Gobowen Road, Oswestry and the B5069 St Martin's Road, Gobowen. This is an administrative matter only in order to take account of the length of the street lighting system along both these roads, and will not result in any changes to the extents of the existing 30mph speed limits or the speed limit signage on the ground.  

Locations

B5069 Gobowen Road, Oswestry and the B5069 St Martin's Road, Gobowen
