Have your say on 20mph proposals for Congresbury
North Somerset Council has launched a consultation on the plans, aimed at improving pedestrian safety and supporting more active and sustainable forms of travel, such as walking and cycling.
Congresbury residents are being asked for their views on proposals for a 20mph zone in the village.
The preliminary designs include:
- – 20mph gateway signs at the High Street, Brinsea Road entrance to the village from the Langford direction
- – traffic calming speed cushions between the 20mph gateway signs and a zebra crossing near Stonewall Lane, which would be raised
- – new 20mph speed limits on certain roads including residential streets off Brinsea Road and the High Street, Broad Street, Kent Road, and Wrington Lane
- – repeat 20mph signage in the affected areas.
Local people have until midnight on Friday 11 April 2025 to view the proposals and have their say by completing the survey online at: www.n-somerset.gov.uk/congresburyspeedchange
Anyone unable to access the online survey can collect a paper copy from Congresbury Parish Council at Orchard House, The Old School Rooms, Station Road, BS49 5DX, and return it to the office before the survey closes.
Cllr Hannah Young, Executive Member for Highways and Transport at North Somerset Council, said: “Introducing a 20mph zone in Congresbury would help to encourage more people to choose to walk or cycle in their local area.
“I get lots of requests from residents across North Somerset for 20mph schemes so I’m pleased to bring this package of measures forward for people to have their say and would encourage everyone to take part before the survey closes.”
Cllr Dan Thomas, Ward Member for Congresbury and Puxton, said: “I have long been concerned about excessive speeding though our village. A dedicated group of residents and I have been campaigning to change this since I was first elected. These proposals for a 20mph speed limit and traffic calming measures will deliver safer roads for vulnerable users and improve quality of life for residents. Please take the opportunity to respond to this consultation and have your say on this important issue.”
