Trust me, as a parish councillor it wouldn't of been them. Speed limits are set at county level. But it is all to do with road surfaces. When a limit is reduced from national speed limit to a 50, the level that the road has to be maintained too is reduced, therefore saving money. Look at how many 50's sprung up after 07 economic crash.

In thiis instance it was my village high st, so its a 30. No reason I can see for resurfesing when there was nothign wrong with the old surface that required a complete resurface.
Probably a local council contractor getting a wee hand up from a senior council officer, know what I mean.

Quarterly budgets to be spent. 'Use it or lose it'.
We've just had a big 4 inch deep pothole repaired on one of our busiest streets. It was so famous, drivers would all steer round it in convoy. They had to keep renewing the red circle around it. Finally repaired with a tarmac patch after about 3 years.

Since i've been back to work on one of the routes i take on the way home they've made THREE of the roads 20mph :eek
Most days there is rush hour traffic so it doesn't affect you too much, but riding at 20mph on a clear road just feels wrong.

In the past I've come out of London on the A3 and there's a long 40mph section.
That's fair enough if it's busy, but trundling along at 40 on an empty road at 2am is ridiculous 
As I've said many a time before, speed limits are such a blunt instrument and often the people who were the cause of them being imposed in the first place are going to ignore them *after* they were imposed, knowing there's virtually no chance of them being caught or punished for doing so...
I've come across yet another average speed camera zone up here in bonnie Scotland.
A few weeks ago I discovered a stretch running fae Tyndrum doon tae Crianlarich. And by the way, blink and you'll miss the warning sign and camera.
On Saturday I was up early and heading fae the hills. I was heading for Glen Lyon, and I found another stretch running from Crianlarich to the junction for Killin. Road was still quiet being still early when I reached that bit - so stuck at 60mph.
I get the feeling they are gonna end up all over the trunk road network.
lock down --no lock down, it's like the grand old duke of York--ahm gettin pissed off wi the lot o it.

The youngsters in school are masked outside of the classroom, 2 metres apart in it. Once beyond the school gates, theres a mask perhaps one in a hundred and no social distancing whatsoever. Second wave imminent.

Aperantly the term "household" has had to be clarified to ethnic groups as they have been interpreting it as meaning all of their family ~ as in all the sharps as they are all the sharp household ~ as in "the house of Saud.

On the other hand, reducing it to 6 (in England) is too few. Two families cannot meet together, if one family has one child and the other has two :rolleyes
