Decision details

Following investigations and formal public consultation, it is proposed to make a Speed Limit Order to reduce speed restrictions on various roads within Chorley, Fylde, Ribble Valley, South Ribble and West Lancashire. The order further formalises the current signed Speed Limits as well as correcting inconsistencies in Chorley, Hyndburn and West Lancashire. In addition the Order revokes current 30mph Orders that are no longer required, reverting the road back to 30mph by virtue of street lighting.
