Lib Dems support interactive signs for Grantchester
Fiona Whelan and Alex Reid (Lib Dem spoke for Environment & Transport) attended a meeting of Grantchester Parish Council on 17th November, to give their support to the local campaign for interactive speed limit signs on Coton Road. Traffic coming off the M11 motorway approaches Grantchester at speed along this road, and speed measurements have shown average speeds more than 50% above the 30mph limit. Grantchester Parish Council has allocated money to pay for the signs, but is being told by the County Council that they cannot have them. No good reason has been given, and Fiona and Alex are pressing the County Council to let these signs go ahead. We think this is a classic example of top-down government, witht he County Council taking a ‘we know best’ attitude. This is just the sort of thing that should be decided by a Parish Council.
