Ansty residents demonstrate their support for a 30mph speed limit in their village.

Together with a like-minded group of Conservative Councillors, I have been able to change the policy of the County Council on speed limits so that 30mph should now be the norm in villages and the relationship between average speed and speed limits is no longer an objection where a 30mph in a village is being considered. This has been the reason a 30mph speed limit in Ansty has previously been refused.

However common sense has prevailed and the 30 signs have now gone up on the A272, B2036 and Deaks Lane. I would like to thank everyone who has lobbied and written letters of support for the ’30 In Ansty Now’ campaign.

I am interested to hear from residents of Staplefield and Whiteman's Green as to whether they would support a 30mph limit in those areas. Please click on this link to email me.
