Heron Way speed limit to be reduced?

For years local people have been campaigning for the speed limit on Heron Way to be reduced from 40 mph to 30 mph. You can't go very fast at the top end anyway, but there have been problems with speeding cars on the hill down to the roundabout.

It's always been strange that this road is 40 mph like a dual carriageway, but other roads the same size or bigger are only 30 mph - Scott Way, Shire Way and Westerleigh Road for example.

South Glos Council has looked at the situation and concluded that Heron Way ticks all the boxes to be made 30 mph - now they would like to hear YOUR views. The consultation is open until 18 May - you can respond to it here:

Finch Road - consultation on waiting and stopping restrictions

In the light of the traffic problems around Raysfield School, which have not been helped by the proposal to redevelop the Tern Inn and the Heron Way Shops car park - now gated off by the owner - South Glos Council has launched two consultations:

FINCH ROAD and HERON WAY - Proposed No Waiting at any Time - Raysfield School Area - STATUTORY NOTICE

See https://consultations.southglos.gov.uk/consult.ti/PT.5732RaysfieldWaitingRest/consultationHome

CHIPPING SODBURY - FINCH ROAD - Protection of School Entrances - No Stopping Order - Raysfield School Area - STATUTORY NOTICE

See https://consultations.southglos.gov.uk/consult.ti/PT.5733RaysfieldNoStopping/consultationHome

The proposals are partly to make existing "no parking" lines legally enforceable.

The consultations run until 16 November.
