Purpose

Following investigations and formal public
consultation, it is proposed to make a Speed Limit Order to reduce
speed restrictions on various roads within Chorley, Fylde, Ribble
Valley, South Ribble and West Lancashire. The order further
formalises the current signed Speed Limits as well as correcting
inconsistencies in Chorley, Hyndburn and West Lancashire. In
addition the Order revokes current 30mph Orders that are no longer
required, reverting the road back to 30mph by virtue of street
lighting.

website.
 
Following formal consultation No Objections
were received.
