To consider objections put forward during a consultation on the proposed extension of a 30mph speed restriction on the A480 at Credenhill.

There are road safety concerns from a planned new access from the Taste for Adventure site onto this section of the A480, with its existing 40mph limit. This proposal is included in the Credenhill Pedestrian Safety Improvements programme supported by the Parish Council and local residents. The proposal was discussed and agreed with West Mercia Police and the Ward Member Councillor Matthews on 8 August 2017. This section of the A480 is of strategic importance and lower speeds would reduce the risk of serious or fatal accidents that could involve road closures.

There are concerns over whether the signing and lining measures will be effective. Post implementation speed surveys will assist in assessing the reduction in vehicle speeds and whether additional speed reduction measures should be considered.
