Speed bumps in Weobley

We the undersigned petition the council to Install speed bumps along the Hereford road to slow traffic from the 60 mph to 30 mph and along Burton Wood outside the primary/high school to minimise speeding. This can also become a zebra crossing for children/parents to use to cross the road.

Weobley was once a safe place to be/live. In recent years I have noticed an increase in speeding both along Hereford road and Burton Wood. Especially in the evenings/first thing.
By placing the speed bumps we hope this slows down traffic and encourages drivers to drive to the speed limit of 30 mph or slower. Weobley is a village of young and old and many loved pets. We need to make this a safe village to live in again.

Council response

Thank you for your EPetition raising the community concerns of speed along the C1095, Hereford Road, Weobley and Burton Wood Weobley. The request is specifically around the installation of traffic calming features to address speed concerns.

The council will liaise and work with the Parish and local member to understand the areas of concern and what are the potential solutions. Once identified we will look to see how they may be delivered which potentially could be through developer funded works or other available funding streams.

Cllr John Harrington, Cabinet Member Infrastructure and Transport
