PEOPLE living in Worcester streets want a 20mph speed limit.
Following a survey, Worcester Green Party says 97 per cent of people living in streets off Wyld’s Lane want the speed limit in their roads cut to 20mph. Also, 57 per cent of people asked in Hill Street, Stanley Road, Vincent Road and Cecil Road want speed bumps.
Anne Potter, head of Stanley Road Primary School, said there had been a frightening number of “near misses” involving pupils in Stanley Road.
She said: “There have been far too many close calls.” Louis Stephen of Worcester Green Party urged those wanting a 20mph limit to get in touch with him at worcester greenparty.org.uk.
Councillor Derek Prodger, the county council’s cabinet member for transport, said officers are reviewing speed limits outside all county schools.
