Flintshire Council identifies 38 more roads for 30mph return
Flintshire County Council says it has completed assessments of all C-class and unclassified roads put forward by residents for consideration to return to a 30mph speed limit.
Following detailed reviews against the Welsh Government’s updated criteria, the council has identified 38 additional roads that are suitable to progress to the next stage.
These proposed changes will be formally advertised over the coming weeks and months, allowing residents to view the plans and submit comments as part of the statutory consultation process.
Earlier this year, the council reinstated 30mph limits on six A and B class roads that met the Welsh Government criteria following consultation.
Cabinet member for Waste and Transportation, Councillor Glyn Banks, said:
“We want to thank residents for their engagement in this process. Their local knowledge has been invaluable in assessing which roads may be appropriate to revert to 30mph.
“The council received more than 1,000 requests from the public. Each road put forward had to be assessed against the new criteria, which has taken a considerable amount of time to complete. I know this process has taken longer than many residents had hoped, so I would like to thank the public for their patience.
“The next step is to formally consult on the proposals and we encourage communities to have their say.”
The council will publish each Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) on its website as it is advertised.
This will include a Notice of Proposal, plans and details of how residents can submit comments or objections during the statutory consultation period.
