New 50mph speed limit on A4361

After over 8 years of working with Wiltshire Council on safety improvements on the A4361, the stretch from the Salthrop / Uffcot junction to The Weir is now 50mph.

Although this won't stop all drivers from speeding, it will warn some of the dangers of this stretch of road. Lowering the speed limit will also make it easier to enforce the safer speed.

This was covered by BBC Wiltshire today, including an interview with our clerk, Peter Barry.

Thanks to all councillors involved in this improvement, especially former councillor Jim Gunter who persevered for many years on this.
