Full council record

Purpose

The scheme was implemented to improve road safety for all users, particularly in light of increased pedestrian and cyclist activity expected in the area.Separate from the proposed changes, the existing 40mph Speed Limit on Lutterworth Road (A4303) was included to correct an anomaly, with no change to its extent.
